Shepparton TEC

The Shepparton TEC is a result of a review of secondary provision in the Shepparton and surrounding districts (Nathalia, Numurkah and Cobram) by the Hume Region of the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.

GOTAFE has established a Shepparton TEC at the William Orr Campus in Wanganui Road in 2008 to run intermediate and senior industry VCAL programs for Year 11 and 12 students to improve and expand the range of vocational education and training opportunities for young people.

GOTAFE offers the following industry focussed programs to Year 11 and Year 12 students. The William Orr Campus will provide access to industry standard and state-of-the-art equipment and resources.
