It is the student’s responsibility to seek out an appropriate work placement. Students are strongly advised to check with their training provider to ensure that the placement they are considering satisfies the requirements of their VET course. Work placement will need to be linked to the VET/TAFE course you are enrolled in. Attendance at school, TAFE and work placement is vital if you are to complete your VCE certificate. Although students will be completing more practical subjects, there is still a writing/theory and assessment components to all classes including VET/TAFE.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please use the subjects menu to learn more about a particular course. If you are unsure about any information provided on this site, we strongly recommend that you contact staff in the Careers Department at Lyndhurst Secondary College or an appropriate Middle or Senior Sub School team leader.

Please understand that the information provided in this Handbook has been published in June. At this time, arrangements for VET courses in terms of the programs offered and the days on which classes will be conducted and the charges associated with the courses are still subject to negotiation.

From 2022, government schools are receiving funding for material fees for VET courses. There are some courses, however, that require certain items that do not come under this funding and we are requesting payment for these. Examples of these are items that are retainable by the student or cannot be re-used such as consumables, kits and some excursions. Please refer to: https://www.education.vic.gov.au/PAL/vet-materials-fees-inclusions-exclusions.docxly for this funding.

Students wishing to undertake a VET course must return all paperwork to School as soon as possible.

(please note the uniform requirements and above price-list should be used as a price guide only, 2024 prices and requirements have not been confirmed)

Students completing a VCE program should ensure they understand how their VET course contributes to their VCE and ATAR. If you are uncertain, please seek advice from a careers advisor at the school.
