Full-Day Professional Development

Your team deserves a PD day that actually changes something.
Most PD leaves teachers with a folder they never open. Our full-day VM & VPC workshop is different, it's hands-on, tailored to your school, and your staff leave with real plans, real resources, and the confidence to use them right away.

How it works

A full day. Your school. Your priorities.

Carla comes to you. Before the day, we talk through your school’s biggest challenges – whether that’s audit prep, curriculum mapping, disengaged students, or teachers who are new to VM and VPC. Then we build the day around that.

No generic slideshows. No content that doesn’t apply to you. Just a focused, practical day that moves your program forward.

Your team finishes with draft curriculum plans, ready-to-use resources, and a clear action plan – so nothing gets lost when Monday arrives.

Choose your areas of support

With 20+ focus areas across four categories, you choose the topics that matter most. We recommend picking around five, enough to go deep without rushing. Not sure where to start? We’ll help you prioritise in your free consult.

Benefits for schools

Full-Day Professional Development ensures your school walks away with more than theory. Staff finish the day equipped, confident, and ready to deliver engaging, compliant, and student-centred programs.

Draft curriculum plans, ready to use

Not a template to fill in later, actual working drafts mapped to your units and study designs, built during the day with your team.

Ensuring tasks are authentic, fair, and meet VCAA standards.

Staff leave understanding what’s expected of them and how to deliver it, without having to decode the study design alone.

Everything shared during the day is practical, useful, and relevant to your school’s context. We only use the most up-to-date information.

No two schools get the same day.

VM and VPC programs vary enormously, in structure, in staffing, in where they’re at. That’s why we don’t run off-the-shelf workshops. Every day is scoped specifically for your school, your team, and where your program needs to go.

Whether you’re building from scratch, fixing what’s broken, or just want your staff to feel more capable, we’ll build a day that actually moves the needle.

I found the day session a valuable PD. The sessions provided me the opportunity to connect the VM units of study we are putting together at school with Victorian curriculum requirements.
Gerard HughesTeacher | Broadford Secondary College
Working with Skills for Schools has been a game-changer for our school. Carla’s guidance helped us simplify the VCE-VM requirements and gave us teachers the confidence to deliver applied learning in meaningful ways.
Sajida Tannoura​Teacher | GSC
Being a first timer teaching VM Literacy, Carla helped break down some of the obstacles that I had encountered while teaching the subject. The practical tips that she shared during her training workshop were useful & practical for my own teaching practice.
Andy Sopali Teacher | Thomastown Secondary college
This has been the most useful, hands on and resource filled VCE VM professional learning that I have done. Carla came to our school and brought resources for us to use alongside clearly articulating planning, integration, school alignment and differentiation. Her method of presentation is engaging and to the point. I feel confident that she would also follow up with us if needed.
Caroline WhiteTeacher | Victory Luthern College
