Many of the graduating class have launched straight into employment and we applaud them for their work ethic as well.

VET 2017

The majority of VET in schools programs got underway this week (8th February). Congratulations to all those Fairhills students who attended an alternative venue, we know you will do us proud.

Can we take this opportunity to remind the school community that VET in School materials fees are now overdue. Payment in full for any Materials cost associated with VET must be finalized before the 20th of February. Any student with outstanding Materials costs after this date will be withdrawn from their program and enrolled in an alternative class on compass. If you need to discuss payment options please contact Penny Niven.

Please be aware that, as of the 24th of February the school is responsible for all costs associated with VET programs regardless of whether or not the student completes the year.

It is vital that Students undertaking VET are happy and committed to the whole year of study because these valuable programs come at a cost.

All VET enquires to Elizabeth Rundle in Careers.
