Beyond the HSC
Chelsea’s journey in the realm of hairdressing began as a School-Based Apprentice and Trainee (SBAT), where her dedication and talent quickly set her apart. An SBAT requires students to attend TAFE one day per week and work in the industry one day per week across Year 11 and 12. This is balanced with a non-ATAR pattern of study at school.
Chelsea earned her spot as one of seven first-year apprentices selected to represent her craft at Melbourne’s prestigious World Skills event in 2023. This achievement highlighted Chelsea’s exceptional skills and her unwavering determination to excel in her field.
Chelsea is also an accelerated VET student who completed her HSC in Hospitality as a year 11 student in 2022. Over the past three years, Chelsea consistently strived for excellence in both the classroom and the kitchen, maintaining a high standard of work that reflected her unwavering commitment to her VET courses.
Chelsea now works in a prestigious Sydney salon, where the skills built across her SBAT have developed her into an outstanding hairdresser.
We congratulate Chelsea on this wonderful achievement!
