Teacher of Certificate II Small Business Operations and Innovation

Parade College

Parade College is a Catholic secondary school with campuses at Bundoora and Preston. It is the oldest Edmund Rice School in Australia, dating back to 1871, and has a proud history of excellence in the education and pastoral care of young people. Parade offers a multitude of curriculum options for students whatever their interest may be; from academic, sporting, music, visual arts and trade options.

Parade College RTO

The Edmund Rice Trade Training Centre was established at the Bundoora campus at the beginning of 2010 and the Preston campus in 2013. To support the focus of the Centre, Parade College was granted Registered Training Organisation (RTO) status in October 2013. Since this time the College provides pre-apprenticeship and VET training to students in years 10, 11 and 12 who are intending on pursuing post-secondary studies either at TAFE or university; apprenticeships, or employment.

Tertiary Pathways Program

Starting in Term 1 2025, our VCE Vocational Major program, based at our Preston campus, has expanded our student offerings by introducing a new Tertiary Pathways Program. The Tertiary Pathways Program includes a second stream of our highly successful Sport Academy, along with a new Business Academy. Both academies provide a bespoke educational opportunity that allow students to gain direct entry into a number of undergraduate tertiary courses at La Trobe University upon completion of the two-year course. 

The College offers a range of vocational courses to both internal and external secondary students. Our courses are delivered by fully accredited trainers whose industry based knowledge and skills remain relevant and current.
