VET Programs

In the MIPS office we are currently busy working with our senior school students assisting them with their pathways. Many students are considering adding one of the 24 offered VET programs to their VCE or VCAL pathway.

In the recent 2021 state budget, the Victorian Government announced that from 2022, new funding will be available to schools to pay for the cost of materials used for VET courses for senior school students undertaking VCE or VCAL.  This acknowledges the important contribution that VET makes to our students’ learning, senior certificates and future careers.

Schools will continue to provide for the cost of tuition, and this new funding will assist to also pay for the items used in training and assessment.  This means that you will no longer have to pay for essential learning materials. 

As with other subjects in VCE or VCAL, parents will still pay for some costs such as uniform requirements or personal protective equipment, that are used and retained by the student. 

We are pleased to be able to reduce costs for families and help our students to participate in VET programs. 

If you have further questions, please contact our VET Coordinator Ally in the MIPS office.
