Voc Educ & Training (Vet)- Hospitality

5 days ago, from the Department of Education & Training Victoria
The city of Ararat is located between the Grampians and Pyrenees ranges, in the central highlands of Western Victoria, 200km from Melbourne, approximately 100kms west of Ballarat. Ararat has an estimated population of 11,500 people and offers country hospitality and lifestyle. Ararat and the surrounding area has stunning natural attractions, mountains, national parks, historical buildings, and plenty of local wines and farm produce. Please view the Ararat City Council website for more information here .
Ararat College has a current enrolment of just over 335 students, which will increase to over 370 in 2025. Students are transported to school on six country buses, with a variety of primary schools feeding into the College. The integration of students from small primary schools into a relatively large secondary is a challenge, which Ararat College believes it handles well.
Ararat College is a school with strong traditions. In a caring, well-disciplined atmosphere, the college sets high standards in all aspects of student endeavour, behaviour, and attire. Dedicated and talented teaching and support staff deliver engaging education opportunities to all students. Ararat College, in partnership with the community, provides an education that empowers young people to find their voice and thrive in any endeavour with respect, responsibility, and excellence. The College makes a feature of encouraging, recognising, and celebrating academic excellence, student leadership, and co-curricular participation.
A comprehensive range of co-curricular activities are offered to students, including instrumental music, media programs, camps, State School Spectacular, band, theatre/musical production, and sport programs. This supports the growth of students into confident, successful, and contributing citizens.
With commitment and support from staff and the community, Ararat College looks to the future with great confidence and excitement.
