The Katanning Senior High School Vocational Education and Training (VET) program allows Senior School students to take part in nationally recognised qualifications while completing their Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE). These programs can either be stand-alone certificate qualifications within the Australian Qualifications Framework or embedded into courses of study. They may be delivered at Katanning Senior High School or at a State Training Provider or Private Training Provider.
The Workplace Learning program (WPL) is where students participate in a work placement in a workplace of interest to them. It is a fantastic opportunity for students to improve their workplace and employability skills whilst providing them with an opportunity to work in a range of industry areas.
Endorsed programs are programs that have been developed for students in Years 10 to 12 that can be delivered as part of the school curriculum or as an extra-curricular activity.
These programs allow students to gain extra points towards their WACE and recognition for extra work completed.
If you think your child may qualify for inclusion in an endorsed program, please visit https://senior-secondary.scsa.wa.edu.au/syllabus-and-support-materials/endorsed-programs or contact the VET team.
