RiverlandPartnershipsForLearning A partnership is made up of the four Riverland DECD High Schools, to provide a wide
range of Voca onal Educa on and Training (VET) courses to Year 11 and 12 students en-rolled in the Riverland High Schools.
These career related courses will increase pathway op ons for students through collabo-ra on with chosen Registered Training organiza ons. The student is supported by their School while undertaking competency based curriculum and learning from the Training provider. This allows students to achieve SACE credits for their learning, along with path-ways which lead students to further educa on, training and/or employment. Comple on of par cular courses will contribute to an ATAR/University entry.
Students stay enrolled at their Home School, and a end the Host School or RTO for their VET course. All enquiry must go through the students Home School VET Leader.
Most of the VET op ons require a endance one day a week (Thursday) at the host loca-on for the whole School year. Some of the courses can lead to a second year pathway if
they wish. Courses are delivered at a variety of loca ons throughout the Riverland and bus transport is provided.
These courses do have fees. There is a range of School and State Government Funding arrangements that we source to subsidise student training fees. Many of the courses are currently subsidised under the “Work Ready” Training Guarantee for SACE Students (TGSS). Courses that are not funded will be subsidised by the school by up to $500.
The schools VET leader/coordinator will provide students with the documenta on that needs to be signed by parents, along with informa on regarding any VET fees. If special clothing, equipment or materials are required you can be asked to fund these.
Students may need to complete work placement as part of their Qualifica on.
Course’s are regional and can be compe ve. There may be more students than there are places. Selec on process can include; a ending the “Come and Try Day interview or work placement.
Any Ques ons? See your school VET Leader/Coordinator.
