Year 10 Work Experience

2017 saw the re-introduction of the Year 10 Work Experience Program after a one year hiatus.

This year, 132 eager Year 10 students spent the week experiencing a range of industries including Nursing, Hospitality, Landscaping, Architecture, Retail and the most popular by far, Teaching.

All students were visited throughout the week and the response  from both the students and the employers was exceedingly positive. I think the photos speak for themselves in how successful the week was.

Year 10 VCE and Careers Expo

On Friday the 5th May the entire Year 10 cohort jumped on a train to Caulfield Racecourse to spend the day at the biggest Careers Expo in Australia. We started the day off attending a seminar called “How to choose your VCE subjects - advice for Year 10 students” and then the students spent the next few hours talking with the 170 different exhibitors from Universities, TAFEs and Industry groups.

These two activities have provided the Year 10 students a glimpse into their future and hopefully has helped them to start thinking about what direction they will take in Year 11 and 12.

Year 9 TAFE Testers

35 Year 9 students attended the “TAFE Taster Day” at the Trade Training Centre at Frankston Chisholm on the 25th May. 

TAFE Tasters give Year 9 students the opportunity to get a ‘taste’ of the vocational courses available at Chisholm TAFE that they may decide to enrol in as one of their Year 10 electives in 2018.

The students spent the day experiencing four different course on offer at Chisholm: Hospitality, Building and Construction, Health Services and Sport and Recreation.

From the photos you can see how much they enjoyed the experience.
