Introduction

Esperance Senior High School offers a range of vocational streams, which are aimed at providing students with an introduction to the workplace in their chosen field. Each stream has an Industry Coordinator which is listed below. Please note: that streams listed below will only run if there are enough students.Any aspect of the course can be discussed with the Industry Coordinator or VET Coordinator (Cynnamon Harper) prior to the interview.

Important Note: As of 2017 all students must achieve a Certificate II or higher to graduate (or an ATAR score over 50). Therefore, you must select one of the following unless you are an ATAR student.

The Industry Coordinators are;

Metals Engineering – Andrew Hackwell

Students will be enrolled in aII and/or III certificate (relevant to their vocational pathway), Workplace Learning (WPL), English and Maths.Other subjects studied will be dependent on the VET stream the student is enrolled in. These are listed in the Upper School Handbook. Students need to be aware that they will be placed in local businesses around Esperance as part of their WPL. It is vitally important that they exhibit a high level of enthusiasm and commitment to their workplace, if they are to gain the most benefit from their studies.

Students need to arrange an interview with the Industry Coordinator for the stream they are interested in. Students should attend multiple interviews, if they are interested in several areas. Please photocopy this VET Application pack multiple times if you will be attending more than one interview. Come to the Drop a Job Student Office (located in the North Wing ground floor, opposite photography) Monday or Friday to get the VET Business students to do this for you.

Those students selected for entry into any particular stream will be based on the student’s suitability to the course using a ranking system. Students, who exhibit both the essential and preferred criteria, will be more likely to gain a place in the vocational program of their choice.
