Week 6 was a very busy week at SFX for 48 students from Years 10, 11 and 12 and the two teachers who successfully completed their Construction Induction Card and Asbestos Awareness training. This training was provided at SFX and delivered by CIT trainers. For some of these students, these qualifications provide them with competencies towards their Certificate II VET qualifications. For others, having these qualifications takes them a step closer to being able to participate in work experience, or apply for work in their industry of interest.
The VET and Careers office placed a display in the HUB during Senior Subject Selection week to encourage students to think about the variety of options they have once leaving school. Students who would like to discuss their post-school options with Mr Stewart, should send an email requesting an appointment.
