Changing Lanes - Satellite VCAL in Bairnsdale, Victoria
Introduction
Bairnsdale is located 282 km east of Melbourne in a farming district and is the regional centre for the East Gippsland region, and the access point to the Gippsland Lakes and Lakes Entrance tourism region. The town has a population of 10,900. It has two secondary schools, one government and one catholic. The Satellite VCAL program is part of Bairnsdale Secondary College, but is located on a separate site.
The 'Satellite' Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) was started in Bairnsdale in 2004 to provide a second chance for young people in the region who were out of school and not attached to any other education or training.
The program is based away from Bairnsdale Secondary College and is next to a building occupied by Bairnsdale Adult Community Education (BACE). The program comprises the VCAL program site and a workshop located in a shed made available by the local police close to the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning program site. |
