VET Pathways & Workplace Learning
On Wednesday at assembly, we celebrated the achievements of our senior school students. Over the past year 80 of our Year 11 & 12 students have had the chance to complete qualifications with TAFE or other registered training organisations one day a week, either here at Mazenod or at a variety of locations across Perth. These courses range from a Cert II, Pre-Apprenticeship, Cert III, Cert IV as well as a Diploma covering a broad range of areas. By successfully completing these qualifications, students have equipped themselves with the necessary skills to pursue apprenticeships, enhance their employability, explore areas of interest and discover alternative options to attending university. During October, TAFE will be advising us of offers of acceptance for our Year 10 & 11 students.
I would also like to congratulate all the Year 12 students who gain employment, whether as a casual/fulltime employee or ongoing in apprenticeships in 2024. We are super proud of your efforts and wish you all the best for your bright future. If any past or current students require assistance in this process place feel free to send me an email.
