Vocational Major Update

Dear Parents and Carers,

Year 11 students please see Compass for information regarding next weeks excursions to the Victorian Tunnelling Centre. This requires consent on Compass. This excursion is free. 

Year 12 students please see Compass for information regarding the Holocaust excursion on the 22nd May which will also require consent. This recursion is also free.

Our Year 12 students have been busy working with school council in order to get their Community Impact Projects approved. This requires students to select an organisation to partner with in order to give back to the community. We have students working with the Salvation Army, collecting donations, and running internal and external programs with other students. Stay turned for more information on how these progress.

Year 11 students are building their capacity to run a Careers Expo based on their VET and work placement. This is a great opportunity for students to develop their industry knowledge and communication skills as their progress into their final year of schooling. 

All students should please keep in mind that final work for Semester 1 us due on the 9th June in order to receive a pass for Unit 1 / Unit 3 

All students should now have found a work placement for a Wednesday or a Friday. EMC staff have begun to make phone calls to work placements to check in with the employers to ensure our students are getting the required support.  Students who have not returned their SWL forms will be required at school each Friday. During this time they will be allocated to classes and will have time to complete overdue work as well as meet with their mentor teacher who can assist them to find a work placement. Mentor teachers may help the students brainstorm where they might go as well as write a script to call a potential employer. They may also help them to look on the SWL portal for any opportunities that the school might have access to.
