VOCATIONAL EDUCATION & TRAINING COURSES (VET)<br />
Students who have been enrolled in VET courses for Semester 1 should have received or will soon receive informati on about<br />
their courses (dates, ti mes, locati ons, things to bring etc). At present, <strong>Gleeson</strong> <strong>College</strong> supports 70% of a full year VET course<br />
that is undertaken as a formal part of a student’s SACE. Students are responsible for their own transport and any individual<br />
requirements such as safety boots or uniform. Each VET course varies in its length and cost but please contact me if further details<br />
are required. <strong>The</strong>se courses can provide students with a valuable transiti on into further training and employment opti ons once<br />
they leave the <strong>College</strong>.<br />
This semester we have approximately 35 students who are involved in a number of<br />
industry areas including:<br />
Hair and Beauty<br />
Constructi on<br />
Electronics<br />
Community Recreati on (Fitness)<br />
Plumbing<br />
Justi ce & Police Studies<br />
Electrotechnology<br />
Multi media<br />
Community Service (Child Care)<br />
Animal Studies<br />
Songwriti ng & Performance<br />
Automoti ve<br />
Hospitality<br />
Photography<br />
Business<br />
Allied Health<br />
We wish them well in their courses and look forward to hearing more as the year progresses. Parents and students who would like<br />
more informati on about these opportuniti es can contact me at the <strong>College</strong> or via email at:<br />

WORK EXPERIENCE<br />
Many Year 10 students have begun classes in the Personal Learning Plan (PLP), a semester unit taken as part of SACE Stage1. This<br />
subject is designed to help students make informed decisions about their personal development, educati on and training. It further<br />
develops the capabiliti es previously undertaken in Work Educati on and includes Communicati on, Citi zenship, Personal Development,<br />
Work and Learning. Work Experience will be off ered as a voluntary component should it fi t in with the students’ personal learning<br />
plans. More informati on will be distributed to students shortly.<br />
Work experience can provide a valuable opportunity for students in Years 10 – 12 to learn more about themselves in a potenti al<br />
career of their choice. Work experience placements are negoti ated to be conducted at a mutually convenient ti me between<br />
the employer, <strong>College</strong> and student. Many senior students will complete more structured work placements as a formal assessed<br />
component of their VET course.<br />
Any specifi c opportuniti es that arise are adverti sed through the student email system, daily noti ces or <strong>The</strong> <strong>Globe</strong>. Students are<br />
encouraged to take up these opportuniti es or to contact me with any individual requests.<br />
