Introduction

Introducing the Moira-Shepparton VET Cluster

The Moira-Shepparton VET Cluster was formed in consultation with the Department of Education in 2024 to ensure all students have access to the core offering of VETDSS, including options with the most appropriate provider supported by the Goulburn Murray LLEN through the appointment of a VET Cluster Coordinator.

The Moira-Shepparton Cluster is a partnership between all secondary education providers in the Moira and Shepparton regions. With a strong focus on collaboration, support and sharing of resources and knowledge.

Cluster members meet once per term to discuss challenges and wins and to ensure a community of best practice to support our students in establishing their pathways to employment and further education.
