Credit towards your WACE, from non-school activities
Are you doing a non-school-subject activity that you would like to count towards your WACE? This might include things like:
- TAFE / VET Certificate studies that you are planning to complete this year
- Work Experience
- Any other ‘endorsed program’ like Cadets, Duke of Edinburgh, Dance Teaching, Bronze Medallion etc
If you would like any of the above counted towards your WACE, then you will need to provide the school with evidence that you have completed the activity. For example:
- For TAFE – your Certificate
- For Work Experience – completed logbook
The deadline for the school receiving this information was Term 4, end of Week 6.
