Vocational Education and Training
Vocational Education and Training (VET) is now accessible to high school students in the senior years of their secondary education. Students who choose Vocational Education and Training pathways gain practical skills and nationally recognised VET qualifications as part of their school education.
At Governor Stirling students are able to complete a range of Certificates as part of their school program, either as stand-alone qualifications or embedded into Curriculum Council Courses of Study. They are also able to access courses through Polytechnic West and Central Institute of Technology. These off-site courses are highly competitive and require a separate application and interview at TAFE. Information regarding these opportunities is available when students are selecting their subjects for Year 11 and 12.

Certificate I and II in Information Technology
Certificate I in Business
Certificate I in Automotive
