Vocational Education & Training (VET)

Dear Year 10 Parents and Students, 

Welcome back to ACC for 2022! I am looking forward to working with the Year 10's this year as we begin (in Term 2) investigating their possible career paths and plans for the future.  Throughout the year, you will receive various emails from me with relevant information to introduce particular opportunities to the students as they begin on this new chapter in their education. 

Often, these emails are sent to the students, as it is important for them to increase personal responsibility and interest in different opportunities.  I will always do my best to send relevant emails to parents as well.

Please see below for a summary which I sent to the students regarding the Townsville Hospital High School Health Careers Program.  The attached letter details the information for the program, and all interested students should email Mrs Bole sbole@acc.qld.edu.au if they would like to apply. 

Each year the Townsville Hospital Health Careers Program offers a few days of Work Experience.  This is open to Year 10, 11 and 12 Students. 

The work experience day will include insight into careers such as;

• Nursing
• Midwifery
• Medicine
• Occupational Therapy
• Physiotherapy
• Psychology
• Radiology
• Speech Pathology
• Nutrition and dietetics
• Social Work
• Pharmacy
• Medical Sciences and
• Exercise Physiology

The first round of Work Experience is in Term 2 on Tuesday the 24^th of May.  This program is quite competitive, so if you are interested, speak to your parents and then please respond asap so we can meet application deadlines.  Please email to let Mrs Bole know if you are interested in this by Friday the 4^th of March sbole@acc.qld.edu.au

There are 3 more opportunities in the year so please keep track of those if you miss out this time.  Please read the attached letter for more information.

The Ville is starting a new program for a School-Based Traineeship in Hospitality.  This would be completed over 2 years.

They are holding a Student Recruitment Session on the 1^st of March.

 If you are on an applied pathway and considering a career in hospitality, this might be a great fit for you. See below under documents for flyer relating to this.
