The Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) Achievement Awards were presented at Federation Square this morning.

The VCAL is a hands-on senior secondary certificate of education that provides students with work-related experience, and develops literacy, numeracy and personal skills. The certificate is a pathway to many careers and educational opportunities.

The VCAL Achievement Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of students who have participated in and completed a VCAL qualification. The awards recognise the exceptional efforts of the teachers and community partners who have played significant roles in the development and delivery of VCAL programs.
