On Wednesday the 9th of November some Year 10 and 11 students had a short tour of Miller TAFE.
The students involved had indicated an interest in studying at TAFE in the near future and in seeing what TAFE is like. The tour was also an opportunity to have some of their questions answered and to speak to some of the trainers.
The students visited classrooms and met trainers and head teachers of subject areas that are offered at Miller TAFE. The subject areas that were visited were: electrical, plumbing, childcare, carpentry, stonemasonry and bricklaying (please see the map below for other subject areas on offer at Miller). The students also had a chance to visit the library facilities.
On their tour they had a chance to see some of the practical classrooms that had been built to assist in the development of skills such as wiring, laying conduit, drilling fabrication and riveting. They observed a working childcare centre on site as part of the childcare section. They also learnt about some of the process and requirements to gain an apprenticeship.
Students at Thomas Hassall Anglican College are increasingly showing an interest in trades and further VET education which is a huge growth area for jobs.

For more information about future studies including TAFE and trades make an appointment with Mr Michael Roper (Careers Advisor).
