Intermediate VCAL

What an adventure 2021 has been for the Intermediate VCAL students of Salesian College.

We welcomed many new faces to the Year 11 class this year. Each of the students were able to build on their skill set with the many projects that we undertook as a class throughout the year. All of the projects that they undertake are built around the Learning Outcomes the students need to gain in order to complete their Intermediate Certificate.

The Year 11 class proudly ran a ‘Staff Car Wash’, ‘The Missions Cup’ football match and BBQ that included a staff members section to watch the game, and the ‘Vinnies Christmas Appeal’ Milkshake and BBQ fundraiser. In all, the students raised over $4000 towards very worthy Charites.

Many of the students were lucky enough to secure Structured Work Placement which they attended on Tuesdays.

Throughout the year the students attended TAFE every Wednesday. Our students undertook a variety of TAFE courses that they chose in accordance with their interests in future employment opportunities. The courses attended this year by our students were Electrical, Plumbing, Allied Health, Hospitality, and Building & Construction.

Special thanks to the dedicated staff that worked closely with the class to ensure all of their Outcomes were met. On behalf of the students I would like to thank Mr Steve Beckham, Mr Paul Azar, Mrs Kathryn Zwalf, Mr Declan Crowe, Mrs Lois Curry, Ms Ruby Anstee and Barb.

To the students of 11V, you have navigated a tough year in and out of remote learning with courage, determination and most importantly success. I look forward to continuing this journey with in you in Senior VCAL next year.
