years.

We can only offer the
courses TAFE offer us.

WORK PLACEMENTS

          highlight for all

          towards WACE.

          200 – 1000 hours over

HOW DO I CHOOSE
               A COURSE?
 Check the courses in the newsletter (they may change).
 Get more information on the course - internet.
 What are you good at?
 What do you like doing?
 Do you like working in a team?
 What are industry shortages?
 What future pathway will your course offer you?
 Remember you can only pick what TAFE will offer
  schools. You can’t pick a fulltime course.

HOW TO APPLY

 Enrol in six (6) courses for school in 2021
  assuming you will be here five days.

 If you get into a three-day VET Pathway
  we will change your timetable. If not you
  still have the subjects you want.

 See Mr Lucas for an interview time.

EVERYONE CAN APPLY – BUT….

 TAFE decides who is accepted
  into their courses. They will look
  at school records especially
  attendance and behaviour.
 In some cases students have a
  reason for low attendance – you
  need to talk to Mr Lucas.
 TAFE doesn’t accept all
  applicants.
 You may need to
  apply again in Year 12.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Include:
     latest school report;
     a student statement (why you want to do the course).
     student “USI”;
     supporting documentation: resume, references, work
      experience, school certificates, sporting certificates,
      surf lifesaving etc.;
     Follow the “Application Guide” given to you at the
      interview with Mr. Lucas.
   You can put in several applications (Different TAFE’s).
   Places are limited so your application must be good.
   If you are late you go on a wait list – it’s hard to get in from there.
   Only submit copies of documents.
   application must on a USB and in Microsoft Word format.

APPLICATION PACK

CONSTRUCTION STUDENTS.

 Students who are successful in an
  application for a course in the Construction
  Industry will be notified and then they must
  complete a “White Card”.
 Details of how to do this will be given to you
  if you are successful and the White Card
  brought to school at the start of 2021.
 Without the White Card you cannot access
  building sites as part of work placement so
  you won’t be included in the course.

WHEN DO I FIND OUT?

It will depend on the TAFE and
the course. TAFE will contact
you directly. Your email
address must be accurate and
is one that is checked.
Make sure your contact
information on the
application forms is correct.
By the end of Term 4
we will know
– some will know earlier.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T
          LIKE THE COURSE ?

 Students can change back to six ‘normal’
  courses during Term 1 (early) or at the start of
  Semester 2.
 Students can complete Year 11 in the VET
  Transition Pathways group then swap over to six
  courses at school for Year 12.
 Apply for a different TAFE course for Year 12 –
  these are very limited.
 Your school WACE is still our main concern!
