VCAL Term 2

Term 2 in the VCAL program is historically very busy indeed, and we are excited at the prospect of remaining onsite for the entire Term rather than learning from home.

The Year 11 VCAL students have been busily preparing goods for the Mother’s Day stall next week for Year 7 students. There will be a variety of gift options available for between $5-$10 each. The products will be on sale Tuesday and Friday lunchtime.

In the coming weeks we have a Moira Kelly visit, Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) continues for Year 12’s and begins for Year 11’s, who will assist Dunecare, and head out to the Port of Geelong as well as involving ourselves in a Murder Mystery event. I look forward to sharing the students' perspectives on these events in coming newsletters.

The VCAL program is underpinned by experiential learning and we try to offer our students a variety of ways to develop their skills, build their knowledge and complete outcome based tasks. SWL is an important part of the VCAL program and if you might be willing to host a student we would love to hear from you. We have students looking for placement across all of the traditional trades, as well as Childcare, Business and Allied Health.
