Excerpts from letters written by VCAL students:
“For the future success of VCAL it is vital that the funding be retained within the school. Without it, the future of VCAL students is jeopardised!”- Mitchell
“I have been given many opportunities through my VCAL program, none of which would have been possible without the support, mentoring and guidance of my co-ordinators.”- Parandita
“The teacher support from all areas of out VCAL team is incredible, there has not been one point in the year when I have felt the teachers have not strived to help all students to get the best out of their time in the VCAL classes. With the funding to be cancelled to the coordination of VCAL this would cause many students to become disorientated and lose their way into the ‘real world.’” – Rechelle
“The VCAL co-ordinators, work placement teacher and VET co-ordinator are available to me every recess, lunchtime and during classtime. If there is an issue, it is quickly resolved. Without the support of these staff, most VCAL students, including myself, would not have a chance to succeed.” –Brenda
“Without VCAL I wouldn’t be where I am at school and would have already failed and left school.” – Kate
“VCAL prepares and helps us for our future, and the people who do this the best of all are those that really know us- our co-ordinators.”- Ashley
