Thanks and Congrats

Last week we held morning tea for our school-based trainees and apprentices, their trainers, parents and employers. This event was in recognition of the work of these people, in particular, the local employers who have offered students these opportunities.  Congratulations to our school-based trainees and apprentices!

TAFE Queensland, South West (Warwick campus), is offering school students the opportunity to complete selected certificate courses as part of senior school studies in 2020.  These courses are aimed at current Year 10 and 11 students. We have had a meeting this week with interested Year 10 and 11 students and discussed course offerings and the application process.

For further details of the courses and options families can consult the TAFE Queensland South West ‘TAFE At School’ 2020 Course Guide booklet. This booklet can be obtained at the Careers office at the College or online at http://tafeqld.edu.au. With the guide is the price list for the courses, however, most are VET funded and therefore fee free.
