VET Induction Day

November 23, 2018

Tuesday morning saw the annual VET Induction morning, this year held at Duncraig campus, for all of the students embarking on External VET studies in 2019.

Students listened to Lewis Schofield (2017 graduate) and Megan Wright (2015 graduate) tell them all about where their qualifications have taken them since they left St Stephen’s.

Lewis is now working FIFO for BHP as an apprentice electrical mechanic and Megan has returned briefly from Scotland where she has been working in a stately home (using her Certificate II in Hospitality). While she is home, she is using her Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care as she does relief work in a childcare centre so that she can save some money before returning to the UK.

The value of a qualification earned at school was clear for all to see!

Helping Hand

May 16, 2018

Secondary students have been visiting their local libraries as part of ECU Enactus, a program providing assistance to local residents with computer problems. It’s a great opportunity for the students to meet members of our community and share their tech knowledge! We hear community members have been impressed with the kindness and helpfulness displayed by our students.
