🛒📏 VM Students Put Their Numeracy Skills to the Test at IKEA!
Our Vocational Major (VM) students recently headed to IKEA for a hands-on numeracy excursion, applying their classroom learning in a real-world setting.
Students were challenged to calculate dimensions, compare prices, work within budgets, interpret floor plans, and make informed purchasing decisions while exploring a range of home and living spaces. The excursion encouraged students to think critically, solve practical problems, and see how numeracy is used every day in workplaces and life beyond school.
Experiences like these are a key part of the VM program, helping students connect their learning to authentic situations while building confidence, independence, teamwork and employability skills.
⭐ Considering the Vocational Major pathway?
The VM pathway is designed for students who thrive through practical, hands-on learning and want to develop skills that prepare them for employment, apprenticeships, traineeships, TAFE or further training. Through industry experiences, excursions, workplace learning and real-world projects, students gain valuable knowledge and skills that support a successful transition beyond secondary school.
We are proud of the way our VM students represented the school and embraced the challenge of learning beyond the classroom
