Vocational Major Update

Year 11 Careers Expo

A huge congratulations to our Year 11 students for putting on a Careers Expo for our Year 12 students. The expo saw students evaluate information relating to employment. They considered the reliability and credibility of information sources and the scope of labour market information available, including skills shortages and industry growth areas, emerging industries and current and future trends. Students applied strategies to improve planning and decision-making related to gaining employment. They developed research skills and collate evidence and artefacts relating to their future employment prospects. 

FINAL DAY FOR SEMESTER 1 COURSE WORK:

All Year 11 and 12 Semester 1 course work must be submitted prior to 21st July to receive an S for Unit 1 or 3. Please have a conversation with your son/ daughter regarding their coursework and reach out to their classroom teacher if they require any support

Structured Workplace Learning (SWL):

Most students will be coming up the completion of their 20 days of SWL with their current employer. Students should start looking for a new workplace. Please keep an eye on the SWL Portal https://workplacements.education.vic.gov.au/ or chat with classmates who they may be able to swap work placements with. If they get stuck students should work with their mentor. 

If a student does not have a work placement they are required to attend school to work with our Vocational Major tutors to catch up on work or to help them find a placement.

SWL opportunities:

The Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery is offering an SWL for students of Early Childhood Education within their Young Art Program on Tuesdays.
