VIP

 The VIP is a Vocational course for students who are focused on entering the workforce by the end of Year 10, or who want to continue into further vocational training.

 The VIP has two main components:

 1.      Work Experience is an important part of the program, with the students participating in work experience one day per week throughout the year.

 2.      Certificate 1 in Business. The students work on modules to complete this TAFE certificate.

 It is through the active and willing participation in these two subjects that students gain meaning and relevance from their time in the VIP, and see some value in continuing their education. Students also choose electives and do physical health education.

 The following criteria are to be used when selecting suitable VIP students:

 ·        A desire to participate in work experience 

 ·        Needs extra help with schoolwork

 ·        Has issues with other students or teachers
