Vocational Education & Training Vocational Education & Training (VET) subjects provide an alternative way of learning skills and concepts. VET subjects can contribute to the VCE in the same way as any other VCE subject and can count towards a student’s overall scored results. The aims of VET are to increase the breadth of subject choice and cater to different styles of learning. Our students are invited to enrol in other VET programs of interest at schools in our local area. Lilydale Heights College is an affililiated school with the Yarra Valley VET cluster. Students can undertake a VET subject at TAFE as part of this arrangement. The Ideal Pathway to Further Opportunities Victorian government schools such as Lilydale Heights College are the ideal pathway to tertiary study and enhanced employment and educational opportunities. Its location, close to transport with easy access to institutions such as Melbourne University, RMIT University, Swinburne University and Box Hill Institute, make it an ideal secondary school for your child. Cultural Enrichment and Global Perspectives The impact that international students have on the school environment encourages cultural understanding and a greater appreciation of global issues. Providing opportunities for international and local students to learn from each other and practice their language skills adds to the learning experience for students and teachers. Schools that choose to host international students find great benefit from the cultural enrichment and global perspectives that these students bring to classroom discussions and school life. Broadening Students’ Experience An internationalised education system equips all learners with the knowledge and skills they need to live and work in a globalised world by integrating intercultural and international dimensions into the purpose, function and delivery of education. This is achieved through effective leadership, enacting internationalised elements of the curriculum and broadening students’ experience with the world locally and globally.
