VET Induction Day
On Wednesday students who will be starting VET courses travelled to Horsham and Longerenong for their induction day. Rory Caldow attended VET Health at Federation University, Sarah Hunn began her studies in Community Services and Jesse Batterham attended the Music program at Horsham College. Alana Ryan and Rachael Maddern travelled to Longerenong to begin their studies in Agriculture, whilst Josh Teague went to Automotive. Jackson Dearden attended Kitchen Operations at Horsham College which will complement his catering work outside School. Josh Kouroupakis was unable to attend, however he will start Agricultural studies next year.
Year 12 Examinations are well underway. All students have a range of different pathways set for next year and beyond including University studies, GAP year and employment options. They are reminded that we are always here to assist with any matters pertaining to support for post School pathways, including after the release of ATARS on Thursday, December 12. That is often a time to change preferences and to consider deferment options for January when Tertiary offers will be available. For early offers, preferences must be changed by the 14 December and for January offers must be changed by December 18.
The VET studies for this year are now completed and I congratulate all of our students for their commitment in completing both First and Second year studies. I would also like to take this opportunity to thanks Darren Pahl who each Wednesday has ensured that our students are safely delivered to the Horsham bus and at the end of a long day brought back home to Edenhope. Without this service by Darren , our students would not be able to attend VET courses.
Students who have completed VET courses for the year are reminded that Work placement on Wednesdays can be arranged. Please see me regarding this.
