Students receive a Certificate III and a study score for completing this course over two years.
The VCE VET Sport and Recreation program is drawn from a national training package and offers portable qualifications which are recognised throughout Australia. These qualifications provide students with the knowledge and skills to prepare them for a diverse range of occupations in the sport, fitness, community recreation and outdoor recreation sectors.
Within this program, Trinity offers the SIS30115 Certificate III in Sport and Recreation. This course provides participants with the knowledge, skills, and competency that will enhance their training and employment prospects in the sport or community recreation industry. (see specific units listed below). This qualification reflects the multi-skilled role of individuals in operational and customer support positions in the sport or community recreation industry. Pathways may include employment into various workplaces such as fitness centres, sporting grounds or complexes, leisure and aquatic centres and community recreation centres. Typical roles include recreation officer, activity operation officer, sport and recreation attendant, community activities officer or leisure services officer.
The SIS30115 Certificate III in Sport and Recreation is delivered within Trinity either directly by the Trinity RTO (#20993) or under an auspicing arrangement from another RTO.
Assessment at Year 12 for the purposes of a VCE study score consists of three coursework tasks, worth 66% of the overall study score and an end of year examination, worth 34% of the overall study score. (For most other VCE subjects the examination contributes 50% of the study score).
As part of VET courses all students are expected to complete five days of Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) each year. This is a positive and beneficial opportunity to engage with industry and to apply what has been practised in the classroom. For Year 11 SWL takes place in the last week of Term Two.

Recognition of AQTF Qualifications & Statements of Attainment
One of the most
important features of the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) is the
mutual recognition of training organisations and qualifications including
Statements of Attainment. As a registered training organisation (RTO) Trinity
Grammar School must accept the credentials issued by another RTO based in any
State/Territory of Australia. Trinity undertakes to ensure that all
Certificates and Statements of Attainment issues by any other RTO are accepted
as valid. Equally, the Qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by
Trinity will be recognised Australia-wide under these arrangements.
Equity & Access
|
Equity is a term used to cover issues relating to access to VET, participation in VET, and achievement of outcomes in VET. Equity issues range from providing a supportive learning environment to adjusting assessments to meet individual circumstances, from policies on fee reduction to development of inclusive materials. An inclusive environment or set of materials is one that acknowledges and values the differences between people and cultures. It includes rather than excludes. Trinity is committed to ensuring that all prospective clients are able to participate and have the opportunity to build on their potential, make choices and receive responsive and appropriate products and services. Whilst the destination for all learners may be the same (i.e. demonstrating the competence to the standard required, the journey may be different. For example, some learners may gain their credential through skills recognition, while others may complete the training before being assessed. Some learners may need more time than others, for example because of their family responsibilities. Trinity aims to ensure equity by being flexible and responsive and avoiding a ‘one size fits all’ solution to training and assessment. Access generally refers to the ability to enter training. Trinity’s commitment to improving access to the training venues, ensuring that selection criteria do not discriminate against clients, and adapting marketing activities to encourage all students. |
