V ET-DSS Pathways are the perfect introduction into the world of work.

You will learn practical skills in year 11 and 12 while gaining an insight into the needs of the workplace. Success in your program can lead to employment or give you a head start in other nationally recognised qualifications. Some higher level qualifications will even offer you pathways into higher education and university studies.

VET-DSS courses are designed for students who are still at high school but would like to start working or studying in a specific field. Students can complete

full vocational qualifications in addition to their WACE. Did you know that vocational courses not only provide training options for students to progress into

the world of work after high school, they also offer a different pathway to university. For more information on how a VET qualification can be a unique and an

alternative pathway into university check out our Uni Pathways page on our website http://www.centralregionaltafe.wa.edu.au/futurestudents/unipathways.

Some of our popular courses include:

• Certificate IV Preparation to Health and Nursing studies (52831WA) - offered over years 11 and 12

• Certificate II in Construction (CPC20112)

• Community Services

We work closely with regional secondary schools to determine our offering of appropriate courses for Wheatbelt students.

Specific information regarding fees and charges will be outlined for each qualification (if required).

A student may select the course they want to study in conjunction with their parent/guardian

Students will receive a course induction at which a course outline and timetable outlining their scheduled classes/activities will be issued. Students are

responsible for ensuring their attendance in class and also for notifying their CRTAFE Lecturers if they are unable to attend or are running late.

Every class records attendance and all absences are reported to participating schools on the same day. Repeated absences may result in specific schools being

contacted in regards to a students’ continuation in the program.

Induction and attendance

CRTAFE does not provide direct supervision of students outside of their learning activities.

CRTAFE will provide parents/guardians with information on excursions prior to the event and written parental consent will be sought for students under 18 to

participate in any excursions away from CRTAFE premises. If parental consent is not given, your child will not be able to attend the excursion and CRTAFE will

not provide an alternative supervised activity. Students may be required to make their own way to excursions. In these situations parents/guardians will be

responsible for organising transport to and from excursions.

• Learning activities at CRTAFE are not limited to lessons in a classroom environment and may include:

Lectures, Tutorials, Online learning, Work placements, Assessments, Research, Project work, Group work, Workshops

• Course hours include a wide range of delivery and assessment activities and may not always be used for classroom teaching.

• Students aged under 18 years of age share CRTAFE facilities such as the library, canteen, and computer labs with adult students.

• Students may be required to complete assessment tasks/assignments outside of their scheduled timetable. Some of these assessment tasks/assignments

are undertaken in the community.

Classroom and College Environment

CRTAFE strives to provide an environment that supports the health and wellbeing of all of our students by:

• Following the relevant OSH policy, guidelines and practices.

• Providing designated first-aid officers who are available to students at all campuses.

• Providing assistance and if necessary arranging for qualified medical personnel in case of an emergency.

• Promoting a friendly and inclusive environment where bullying and any form of harassment are not accepted. Any student experiencing bullying or

harassment of any kind should inform a CRTAFE staff member immediately.

• Ensuring all relevant staff have a Working with Children Check subject to the Working with Children (Criminal Record Checking) Act 2004.

• Implementing the Emergency Response Plan in case of an emergency.

• Providing parents/guardians with a copy of an Accident / Incident report if your child is seriously injured.

Students are not covered for Personal Accident or any loss or damage to property whilst on a CRTAFE campus.

However, CRTAFE does hold cover with the Insurance Commission of WA (RiskCover) that provides Personal Accident cover for students who are undertaking

unpaid work experience that is allocated or arranged by CRTAFE. Personal Accident cover is also extended to those students attending any official College

camp, excursion, trip or other off campus activity (excluding sports days other than interstate sporting events, carnivals or national championships) which is

approved and organised by CRTAFE.

The responsibility is placed on parents/guardians in relation to whether they arrange their own Personal Accident insurance or private health cover for their

child if they believe CRTAFE coverage is not adequate.
