In January, 97% of Year 12 students with paid VTAC applications received tertiary offers. Congratulations to Ben Akok and Tyson Loft who have been awarded the Daffyd Lewis Scholarship, Celeste Bennier –Pittau on receiving the VU Academic Scholarship and (another student should have VU scholarship but I have not been advised). Many of our Year 12 Graduates were also awarded scholarships to help fund their tertiary studies. These scholarships will go a long way in supporting students for the duration of their undergraduate university studies.
Celeste Bennier-Pittau who is studying a Bachelor of Criminal Justice and Psych Studies and Stephanie Novak who is studying Bachelor of Nursing.
Celeste has been offered the Higher Education scholarship valued at $5000 per year for a max. of 4 years and Stephanie has been offered the General scholarship valued at $2000 per year for a max. of 2 years.
It has been a very busy start to the school year. Most VET classes commenced on 6th or 7th February with Year 10 and 11 students travelling to various schools in the Western Edge Cluster to study their chosen programs. Many VCAL Students have commenced their School Based Apprenticeships, providing them with opportunity to combine their VET studies and gain valuable employability skills.
A reminder that all VET students must provide their VET teachers with a USI number to enrol in the VET course. This can be applied for on line at:
Students needing assistance with USI applications are required to bring a photo of their Medicare card to the Careers Room.
If you can support your student to secure an employer for Work Experience or Structured Work Placement this year through contacts you have with relatives, friends or work colleagues can you please contact Kim Younger in the Careers Room so that the required Arrangement forms can be prepared.
