In addition to these courses, students are able to undertake VET courses off-campus with other training providers e.g. TAFE and a range of private providers. Some certificate courses on offer include Health Service Assistance, Hospitality, Events, Hairdressing, Rural Studies, Animal Studies, Beauty Services, Fitness, Early Childhood Education and Care, Visual Arts, and Manufacturing Technology. A complete list is available on request.
All VET programs at St Mary’s College include the opportunity to access quality work placements (on-the-job training). Students can also participate in School-based Traineeships and Apprenticeships (SATs) as a further vocational option. SATs enable students to complete a formal qualification as well as undertake paid work in their chosen career field. SATs are available in a diverse range of fields including Business, IT, Multimedia, Childcare, Fitness, Beauty, Hairdressing, Automotive, Engineering, Carpentry, Hospitality, and Retail. Students participating in this program will spend one day per week for a minimum 12-month period ‘on the job’ and will undertake formal one-on-one training throughout that 12-month period. Successful completion of a SAT at a Certificate III level can be used in the calculation of a student's Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) if ATAR eligible.
Completion of VET Certificates provides students with vocational skills and knowledge, which will enable them to obtain part-time or full-time employment. Some courses can be used towards further study at TAFE or other private colleges. All courses earn points towards the QCE.
