Year 12 Primary Industries Certificate (PIC)

Year 12 Primary Industries Certificate (PIC)

Each year, some students will be invited by their Dean to apply for a place in the Primary Industries Academy.  The sort of student accepted for the course will need to be enthusiastic and have demonstrated an interest and desire to work towards a career in the Primary Industries. They are expected to participate fully in up to 15 off-site visits during the first year. Second-year students are required to participate in farm placements every Friday during Terms 2 and 3.  

This course runs over two years and aims to ensure that at the end of the two years’ study learners have a combination of practical skills and theoretical knowledge that will enable them to continue to make informed choices about their career options in the primary sector. 

The course provides learners with transferable skills in literacy and numeracy and instils work-ready skills through practical training opportunities in realistic working environments.
