Community Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (CVCAL)

In partnership with, Pakenham Secondary College, Eumemmerring Secondary College and Cranbourne Secondary College, OzChild delivers Community VCAL in the Cardinia Shire to students aged 15-18 who are disengaged from school. This program helps support young people re-engage and link with further training and employment options. Contact us for further information and to arrange for an enrolment interview.

The VCAL (Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning) is a hands-on option for Years 11 and 12 students, offering practical work-related experience and learning. Like the VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education), VCAL is an accredited secondary certificate.

Parent feedback

"...whatever you are doing, just keep doing it because John has never been happier in his life. He is getting up early on his own and has become more independent and motivated. I can't thank you enough. The family is looking forward to the twilight sports evening.  This is the first time that John has been excited about school and it's also the first time that he wanted to involve his family..."
