Year 10 students have the option of undertaking a VET Course run at Cheltenham SC. This is to align the Year 10 timetable with the rest of Senior School and to allow students to undertake an extra elective.

Year 11 and 12 students are also able to take on an internal VET subject as part of their VCE. Below is a list of these courses and their prices.
