Work Experience is a compulsory component of Year 10 Industry and Enterprise, I urge families to start discussing opportunities throughout your family and sporting networks. Ideally this week of work experience will take place September 16-20 2019,  we do understand this week may not suit some employers, please discuss arrangements with Mary-Ann Linehan in the careers department.

 

Please encourage your children to embrace all the opportunities given to them by our school networks, business and community, to help them explore the world of work and their future journey into the work force and or further study.
