Ranges TEC Taste Tester Sessions
We are excited to invite you to Ranges TEC's last VET Taster and Tour Evening this year. This event is for Year 9 and 10 students who are considering a trade future on Wednesday 16 August from 5.15-7.45pm.
The evening will consist of:
1. Taster Sessions for Students
- Students can choose two activities. The taster sessions are designed to give students a hands-on experience of different VET courses. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the different skills and knowledge that are required for each course, and they will also have the opportunity to ask questions to the course instructors.
2. Ranges TEC Campus Tour
- While the students are in their activity, parents/guardians can take a tour of Ranges TEC to see the school's facilities and to learn more about the VET courses that are offered. Families will also have the opportunity to meet with course instructors and to ask questions.
We encourage you to register for this event as soon as possible, as spaces are limited. You can register online here.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at office@rangestec.vic.edu.au or on 9738 7100.
