Sunshine College operates as a two site multi-campus school in North and West Sunshine with responsibility for serving the educational needs of around 1000 young people, employing approximately 140 staff. We are currently entering an exciting renewal phase in our teaching and learning practices and physical structure, including the opening of new facilities at the West Campus.
Our successful mainstream programs being augmented by the curriculum delivered at Harvester Technical College, located adjacent to the North Campus of Sunshine College. Harvester Technical College is an exciting feature on the landscape of senior secondary education and trade and technology skills training in the West of Melbourne. It is a unique hybrid model of education and training governed and operated with Sunshine College since January 2010. It offers young people seeking careers in trades and technology, the opportunity to complete their senior secondary education through the VCE Vocational Major (VCEVM) whilst completing a pre-apprenticeship VET certificate as a pathway to apprenticeships, traineeships, employment or further education.
Harvester has a state of the art Trade Training Centre (TTC) as well as recently opened STEM (2019) facilities where junior Technology and STEM programs are delivered to Sunshine College students. Through our Trade Training facility, the College delivers pre-apprenticeship VET programs in Carpentry, Plumbing, Engineering and Electro-technology.
Our Vision:
Harvester Technical College aims to transform lives through the power of further education, particularly through applied learning, and vocational education and to prepare young people for further study and employment in careers in trades and technology.
