VET 2020

It has been a challenging time for all VET students this year and I congratulate those students who were able to successfully complete their studies and those that will continue with second year in 2021. VET is a big commitment and our students this year have done themselves proud.

 

I would particularly like to thank Darren Pahl who has continued his support of the program by providing essential transport links for our students.

VET 2021

Future and current VET students are reminded that classes will begin on February 3 2021.

Careers with Victoria Police

We are currently in the midst of our biggest recruitment drive ever. We are looking to recruit over 3,000 new Police Officers by 2021, so there's never been a better time to apply! Victoria Police has four different roles available for students who might be interested in pursuing a career in policing:

For students interested in a career with Victoria Police, please find some helpful information below:

 

Experience and attributes we are looking for:

Not every 18 year old will be ready to apply but those who are gathering life experience whilst they are in high school will be more competitive throughout the recruitment process. For example:

  • Part-time work experience in a customer service environment - provides exposure to people of all works of life and develops communication, teamwork and conflict resolution skills. For example, working at McDonalds one day a week.
  • Volunteer experience - develops a sense of community-mindedness and communication skills. For example, working at the local surf lifesaving club or community centre.
  • Sporting club experience - develops teamwork, communication and leadership skills, not to mention the healthy level of fitness that is a requirement of the role.
  • Overseas travel - provides exposure to other cultures, religions and languages and fosters a sense of independence and assertiveness.
