Alex Lee

Throughout my years at Dromana College I have had many different opportunities, met many friends and obtained vast skills to set me up for my future years in my chosen career. I have been working towards one goal of getting my VCAL senior pass, as I have wanted to become a builder since Year 7. I signed up as a School Based Apprentice at the end of Year 10 after completing work experience and being accepted into the VCAL program. With hard work and dedication along with assistance from the College VCAL staff, I was able to fast-track my VCAL program to 18 months.  Since successfully passing and graduating Year 12, I have commenced full time work with Coastal Builders Pty Ltd in late June, and will become a 2nd year apprentice in September. Without the help and support of the College, VCAL team and the VCAL program I would not be on this pathway.

Year 12 VCAL Student

During Alex’s time in the VCAL Program he has been a friendly and dedicated student who always received glowing reports from his classroom teachers. It has been a pleasure assisting Alex in fast-tracking his Senior VCAL certificate and we wish him all the best as he begins what will surely be a successful career in the building industry. Congratulations Alex!

Year 12 VCAL Coordinator

It is with great pride that we congratulate Alex Lee as the first Dromana College student to achieve mid-year completion and graduation in the Senior (Year 12) VCAL certificate. This fantastic outcome is testament to the positive attitude, outstanding work ethic and commitment that Alex has demonstrated not only this year but throughout his VCAL program. Alex’s achievement serves as a positive example to other students of what is possible and will hopefully inspire others to follow in his footsteps in future years. We wish Alex well in his apprenticeship and again commend him on the initiative that he has shown in fast-tracking his entry into his chosen pathway.
