External Vocational Education and Training (VET)
It is important that students and parents understand that if a student chooses to participate in a VET program, the student may miss classes at MSC. It is a condition of participation that the student keeps up with all aspects of his/her program of study. VET programs count as a course/unit equivalent towards WACE and participating students may be allowed to reduce their course load to give them the greatest opportunity to succeed.
