Memorandum to Schools 98/2007
10 October 2007
The VCAA and DEECD are conducting briefings on VET in Schools, VCAL and
related matters in thirteen locations across the state during November. The
following page provides details of locations and dates.
Schools are invited to send up to three representatives; it is recommended
that VET and VCAL coordinators attend to ensure that the school has access to
all program information for 2008.
These briefings will be a whole day event with lunch provided. They will
include an overview of:
-
Guidelines and contract templates to assist schools document the roles and
responsibilities of school and non-school providers of senior secondary
curriculum
-
2008 VET in Schools funding arrangements
-
Regional VET in Schools and VCAL planning and clustering initiative, aimed at
improving VET in Schools and VCAL provision
-
Impact of new AQTF standards on schools
-
VET in Schools for 2008, including new and revised VCE VET programs, scored
assessment and School Based Apprenticeships.
-
VCAL implementation
Schools are asked to register attendees by Wednesday 31 October.
Please ensure that all persons attending are registered so that numbers and
catering needs can be confirmed.
Some non-government school participants may choose not to attend the first two
sessions, which are specific to government schools. Registrations will also be
available at the morning tea break and lunch time (for VCAL only participants).
Times and catering arrangements for each location are provided on the attached
schedule. An opportunity will be provided for questions and discussion and an
information pack will be issued at the briefings.
In the event that fewer than 15 registrations are received for a briefing at a
particular location, that briefing will be cancelled and registrants will be
informed of alternative locations.
