SATAC Guide 

and SATAC Information Session

The SATAC Guide is available online: https://online.flippingbook.com/view/105289878/)

 

This year the SATAC Guide is not available in print format.

 

Information booklets from a variety of pathway providers have arrived at the College and are available for student collection from Plaza 1, Senior Years Centre. Information regarding the University and TAFE application process will be shared with students and families at the 

SATAC Information Session on Monday, 5 August at 6:00pm in the Middle Years Centre.

 

Applications for University Courses open on Monday, August 5 and the early closing date is Monday, 30 September. TAFE applications also open on Monday, 5 August. 

Students considering applying for a competitive TAFE course should apply on this date as some courses use the application date as the entry criteria. 

 

I am always available to meet with Year 12s and families who may require further support and information to make these choices. 

 

I also encourage all Year 12s to take advantage of the opportunities offered at our three Universities and attend their Open Days next weekend to learn details about course content, pathways and University life. 

The dates are listed below, with further information available on the University websites.

TAFE SA - Vocational Education & Training in Adelaide, South Australia

Endeavour Vocational Education and Training (VET) Pathways Programs

Any students wishing to undertake subsidisedVET in 2025 will need to complete a VET Readiness Orientation Program known as VETRO.  This process can take some time so students interested in VET options in Year 11 and Year 12 will need to make an appointment with the Pathways Leader as soon as possible to discuss their options further. 

 

Subsided training exists in areas such as trades, hair and beauty, social services and health, childcare and education, hospitality and catering, ICT, screen and media. 

VETRO is an upfront assessment, induction, and orientation to VET to ensure that students enrol in a course that is right for them and they will be successful in. 

 

A student applying for these courses is likely to continue their chosen vocation further through an apprenticeship or traineeship, paid work or further study at the end of Year 12. 

 

To be eligible for subsidised training, students must be:

  • In Year 11 (2025) and turning 16
  • Enrolled in SACE
  • Completing, or have completed, VET or work placement related to their career pathway.

Students with interests in Pathways programs in other areas should also meet with the Pathways Leader to discuss potential VET in Schools opportunities. 

 

To be considered as part of the Endeavour College VET Pathways Program students need to be able to demonstrate a serious interest in a specific career pathway. 

 

All students interested in a VET in Schools course should indicate this on their Subject Selection Form. Please note that there may be additional costs as part of the enrolment process into these courses.
