The Flinders Aligned Pathway Program
The Flinders Aligned Pathway Program provides pathways into selected Flinders Degrees, for some VET students. Each pathway identifies which VET qualifications and Stage 2 SACE school subjects, align with degrees. Each pathway recognises VET as meaningful preparation, not an alternative or add-on. The program provides transparent entry requirements, in order to support students and families to make informed decisions.

Vocational Education and Training (VET)
A Vocational Education and Training Course (VET) allows students to develop the skills, knowledge and competencies that are valued by industry that will enable them to make successful transitions between school, further education, training and work.
The advantages of completing a VET course while completing SACE include:
- Gain nationally recognised qualifications that contribute to the SACE.
- Preparation for employment in specific industries and provides a clear pathway beyond school.
- Provides opportunities to learn ‘on the job’ while undertaking regular work placement (where required by the course).
The South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) is designed to give students the opportunity to have diverse forms of learning and achievement recognised. This includes providing students with VET options. . At Aberfoyle Park High School, we are committed to providing access to a range of VET courses for our students.
At the time of publication of this handbook, the information below about VET is correct. Any changes to VET course offerings will be shared with students and families as the information becomes available.
