HOLMSEGLEN TAFE – TALK & TOUR

6TH NOVEMBER 2019

On Wednesday 6th November, our year 10 Futures classes attended a Talk & Tour at Holmesglen TAFE. The purpose of the tour was to expose students to some of the opportunities offered in the TAFE environment. Based on preferences, students were split into two groups, one group visited the Glen Waverley Campus and the other visited the Chadstone Campus. Some of the courses offered at the Glen Waverley Campus are in areas such as Hospitality, Early Childhood Education, Beauty, Horticulture, Screen, Media & Animation, and Tourism & Events whilst Chadstone Campus offers courses in area such as Carpentry, Plumbing, Furniture Making, Stonemasonry, Business, Printing, Surveying, and Interior Decorating & Design etc.

Students attended a formal presentation to learn about Holmesglen programs, pathways into apprenticeships/degrees and the differences between studying at a TAFE compared to a university environment. The presenters were very informative and gave a real picture of what student life was like on each campus. Students were then toured around the campus and had a first-hand look into the facilities, study environments and practical learning spaces.

We hope that this visit has broadened the minds of our students and provided them with extra knowledge that will assist them with making their career decisions in the future.

Finally, I would like to thank the following teachers for their support as without them this event would not have been able to take place – Aaron Smith, Judy Anderson, Elisa Pauer, Rosalie Sullivan, Jane Xing and Khairi Razaai.
