As per the table below, Year 10 & Year 11 students have eight compulsory WEX blocks scheduled during term time, and Year 12 students have six compulsory WEX blocks scheduled during term time.
WEX is not applicable for part-time or full-time School Based Apprentices and Trainees (SBATs) as they are already in paid employment. Year 10 and Year 11 campus-based students must complete eight compulsory WEX blocks per year, and Year 12 students six compulsory WEX blocks.
All Year 11 and Year 12 students undertaking VET trade training courses are still required to attend their usual trade training day during WEX blocks. Hence, WEX blocks will only be 4 days per week for Year 11 & Year 12 students undertaking a VET course. Any variations to the WEX dates or schedule will be communicated to students and families.
Please view the College’s WEX Handbook for further information.
