Head Start

SBAT OF THE YEAR

The Head Start Program supports students completing a School Based Apprenticeship or Traineeship (SBAT). This occurs while the student is at school and then during the transition from school into the workforce. Students who are undertaking a School Based Apprenticeships or Traineeship must manage their time between: completing school (usually VCE VM); Completing a VET Certificate; and often outside commitments such as sport and part-time work. 

The winner of this award will receive a trophy, a $50 gift card aligned to their chosen employment and their name on the Head Start SBAT of the Year honour board on display in the school's front office. 

The winner of the Head Start SBAT of the Year for Elisabeth Murdoch College is Isabelle Bryne.

She has maintained her commitment to her profession since and is a dedicated member of the Baxter Dental team. 

Isabelle’s employer described her as “perfect” and believes “she is a credit to the Head Start program!”
