VET

VET delivered to secondary students

It has been an excellent start to VET classes. This week I have talked with quite a few VET students who have reported that they are enjoying their courses, which is great to hear. At the end of this week, it is assumed that all students enrolled in a VET course will continue attending for the rest of the year and Viewbank College will be invoiced accordingly. If you or your child have any questions or concerns about VET then it is important that you contact me as soon as possible.

Below are some reminders of the terms of VET enrolment.

You only have permission to leave the school one period early to travel to your host school. Thus, if you begin VET in period 5, you can leave at the start of/or during period 4. If this does not give you sufficient time to get to your VET placement please notify the VET Coordinator to explain this. You MUST sign out with the Senior Years Student Support Officer (Ann Shaw) before leaving for VET. If your VET session is in the morning you also need to sign in on arrival back at Viewbank College.
Students who are required to wear a uniform for their VET class can get changed into the uniform during period 4 for an afternoon VET class or upon returning to school if they have a morning VET class. Students are not to wear their VET uniform whilst in class at Viewbank College.
If you cannot attend your VET class for any reason, including illness or other Viewbank College commitments then you must let your home school (Viewbank College) VET Coordinator know as soon as possible. It is the VET Coordinator at your home school that should let the host school know of your absence. The earlier this is done the better.
Finally, if you have a problem regarding any aspect of your VET course you must notify your VET Coordinator immediately, not your Year Level or Wellbeing Leader. Your Year Level Leader will be informed of your progress in VET via the Viewbank College VET Coordinator.
