Congratulations to all our wonderful VET (Vocational Education and Training) students who have successfully completed—or are on their way to completing—a formal VET qualification or School-Based Apprenticeship this year! Your hard work, commitment, enthusiasm are truly inspiring, and we couldn’t be prouder of your achievements.

This year has been a milestone for our College, with 160 senior school students undertaking formal VET qualifications. These qualifications have provided students with invaluable opportunities to gain hands-on experience, theoretical knowledge and industry-recognised skills, paving the way for their future success.
