In Year 7-9 the learning program is focused on a range of core studies that enable students to be fully immersed in all domain areas and capabilities which aligns to the prescribed Victorian Curriculum. Students in Year 10 have the opportunity to select subjects in Humanities, Science, Technologies and Arts that align with their interests and career aspirations. We also provide the option at Year 10 for students to access accelerated learning. Students have the option to apply for early commencement VCE studies, with a Unit 1 and 2 sequence or a VET program. By providing this opportunity, we are enabling students to then complete a Unit 3 and 4 sequence the following year as part of their Year 11 learning program. Alternatively undertaking a VET program in Year 10 enables students to gain a nationally accredited qualification in their identified career pathway. Select VET courses also enable students to achieve a Unit 1 and 2 sequence toward their VCE. The WHC Pathways Evening occurs in Term 3. This event provides current Year 9, 10 and 11 students, parents and carers with the opportunity to access a range of resources to support their course and subject selections. There will be presentations with information specific to both the Year 10, Year 11 and Year 12 learning programs. Making informed and individualised subject selections is a priority to support success for students. Individual course counselling takes place for current Year 9, 10 and 11 students on a day where there will be no timetabled classes. Instead, students and parents/carers are expected to book appointments via Compass to meet with a course counsellor. Students must attend this appointment with their parent/carer where they will discuss their learning program options and will also make their subject selections. Students will be required to return a signed hard copy of their finalised subject selection. For accelerated programs, students will have to apply and complete the relevant application forms. Students moving into Year 11 are enrolled in either VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education) or VCAL (Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning). VET programs (Vocational Educational and Training) are also offered and may be a requirement based on their identified career pathway. Students moving into Year 12 will be finalising their learning program for their Year 12 studies. VCAL students will confirm their enrolment in their VET course or their School Based Apprenticeship. Current Year 11 students will need to book an appointment via Compass with a course counsellor on course counselling day and attend with their parent/carer. Please note that all students will be required to return a signed hard copy of their subject selection form to the College before their selections can be validated. All subject selections must be finalised by the given date in Term 3. Course selection is an important and significant event for students and as such, there are a range of factors that need to be taken into consideration: career pathways, student interest, student academic performance and the possibility of acceleration. Getting the selections right for each student is of paramount importance. As such, there are a number of stages in the process that lead to the confirmation and finalisation of choices. The initial step is for students and families to familiarise themselves with the Curriculum Handbook so that you are fully aware of what is on offer. We offer a range of subjects and then determine which will run based on student interest and pathway programs. This means that we can be responsive to the changing needs of students, with the subjects we run changing each year depending on interest while professionally balancing this with a need to ensure we offer a balanced and comprehensive curriculum. 4 Considerable emphasis is placed on course counselling with processes and timelines communicated to all students and carers. This process involves parents/carers and students together with a course counsellor to ensure each student has an appropriate selection

Could we have a list of such schools or school regions that are currently unserved in terms of trade training options? Mr Cook: I am happy to take it on notice. Senator O'NEILL: If possible, by electorate, just a geoshot. Mr Cook: When you say 'unserved' do you mean no children at a school are accessing a centre? Senator O'NEILL: Yes. Where there are schools that are not able to access either directly in the school or in a site created by a cluster of schools seeking the funding. Mr Cook: Happy to take that on notice. Answer Attachment A lists the schools eligible to apply for funding under Round Five (Phase One) of the Trade Training Centres in Schools Program that had not been approved for funding as at 17 December 2013. These schools may have existing trade training arrangements in place, for example through local agreements to access Trade Training Centres or by partnering with existing Registered Training Organisations.
