Planning for the HSC
This year, your child will choose subjects for Years 11 and 12. Start talking about this early – with them, the careers adviser and their teachers. Students planning to get their HSC will have opportunities to sit the HSC minimum standard online tests from Year 10 onwards.
Vocational education and training (VET)
Vocational education and training (VET) is a great option for students who may wish to pursue a trade after school. VET includes school-based apprenticeships and traineeships.
VET students:
- get to try out a career
- finish high school with a qualification
- receive an ATAR (if they choose eligible subjects)
This leaves their options open and can give them a great head start in getting a job.
