Wyong High School VET
Wyong High School provides exciting opportunities for its students
within the Vocational Education and Training (VET) field.
A wide range of courses are offered to students in Years 10, 11

students have elected to undertake studies in these courses—often
selecting 2 or 3 VET courses. These courses provide the students with
work and leadership skills.

school. The students are
required to complete 35 hours per year of work placement with an
organisation or business that is aligned with the course they have
chosen. The VET courses
