VCAL Class of 2022
Term 4 - Barista Training
Over the past month, all VCAL students have undertaken Barista Training onsite at the Mentone Campus. This was easily one of the most enjoyed programs run throughout the year. Along with their 'First Aid' and 'Food Handling' certificates, our VCAL students will now also hold a 'Barista Certificate'.
Life After VCAL - Where To Next?
From all of the VCAL Staff here at St Bede's College, we wish all the Senior VCAL students of 2022 all the very best with their endeavours for 2023 and beyond.
‘Life is not about having the knowledge to survive it’s about gaining the knowledge to survive’
You have all got this!
