At Aquinas Catholic College, students in Years 11 and 12, have the opportunity to study a variety of VET (Vocational Education and Training) courses. The courses offered at the College are:
These courses allow students to gain industry recognised qualifications or a statement of attainment in their chosen area.
Undertaking these courses allows students to gain both knowledge and valuable industry experience in actual workplaces and also by performing tasks in simulated environments at the College.
Students have available a range of excellent resources including a well-equipped commercial kitchen, business resources in the Business Services and Retail Room, a new College gym as well as well-equipped Construction areas.
In addition to gaining industry qualifications VET courses count towards a student’s HSC completion and may also contribute to the calculation of an ATAR.
