Western Edge Cluster Trade Training Expo

The Western Edge Cluster (WEC) Trade Training Expo was held on Friday 19 July.

The WEC provides quality Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs for secondary school students.

​The Cluster comprises nine Government, Independent and Catholic schools, including St Francis Catholic College. The WEC arrangement is founded on a spirit of cooperation and to provide a wider breadth of learning opportunities for all our senior secondary students.

Some fortunate Year 10 students considering the VCE VM pathway in 2025 had the opportunity to travel around to the local cluster schools to sample the VET programs on offer.

It was a very worthwhile experience for these students who can now make a more informed decision about their VCE pathways and the many options available.

At the same time, St Francis hosted more than 100 students from other cluster secondary schools in the Melton and Bacchus Marsh area in our Trade Training Centre.

While onsite, students engaged in information sessions and hands-on activities designed to showcase the VET programs on offer at SFCC. These information sessions and activities were facilitated by our engaging trainers, who were assisted by our fantastic Year 12 VCE VM ambassadors.

Feedback from the visiting schools was that our student ambassadors were amazing and that they really made a difference in the engagement levels of the visiting students.

As always, I would like to thank our brilliant VET staff Sandra Carey, Margaret Rowe-Watts, Rodney Brown and Ellie Bacchin who all went above and beyond to plan and facilitate these learning experiences.

To our outstanding Year 12 ambassadors, Lara, Annelies and Deng (Community Services), Claudia, Samantha and Ryan (Health Services Assistance) and Liam, Mitch and Joseph (Engineering), thank you for taking the time to showcase your skills and share your experiences with potential future students.
