This year, our Year 12 Business Services class comprises a small cohort of 16 students. Many of these students have already embarked on their careers as Electricians, Carpenters, Plumbers, Builders, and Locksmiths. Our Business Services program, an in-house TAFE initiative, is designed to equip students with essential workplace skills crucial for today’s job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the students are studying at TAFE for their chosen trade. In addition many are now working one or two days a week for an employer in their chosen field. Prior to this, all students successfully completed a two week Work Placement program with various employers across Sydney. Additionally, they have completed the necessary TAFE Modules to attain a Certificate III in Business Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hospitality class is also nearing the end of their course, focusing on the last unit of competency for Certificate II in Cookery. As part of their training, they recently organised and catered a three course luncheon for some staff, showcasing their skills developed in the Use Basic Methods of Cookery unit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughouth their studies, students have gained valuable hands on experience, completing 70 hours of work placement across a range of local Hospitality establishments. Ms Wassef, our dedicated teacher, is currently undertaking her Hospitality teacher training to begin working in the VET Faculty next year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Entertainment teaching area in A Block underwent recent renovations aimed at enhancing our facilities. Within this revitalized space, our Entertainment students have been actively engaged in covering our College sporting events on a Thursday afternoon. Additionally, the MCE TV crew live stream key College events such as assemblies and masses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, our Year 12 boys are concluding their Work Placements, marking the final stages of their course requirements. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a large number of students undertaking other VET courses at Southern Cross Catholic College Burwood and various TAFEs in the area, with a view to go into a variety of trades after they complete school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wish our Year 12 students every success in their upcoming HSC Trials exams next term. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
