Year 10 Work Experience 

Congratulations to our Year 10 Career and Enterprise students for successfully completing the Work Experience Program during the first week of Term 3. 

The placements covered a wide range of work types, locations, and environments. Through these experiences, students engaged in various activities, gaining valuable insights into their potential future career pathways. They also learned about the skills required for different jobs and assessed their own suitability for these roles. Impressively, some students even secured part-time employment offers. We hope this experience sparks inspiration for their future career aspirations. 

A special thanks to all the local employers who supported our program, the parents/carers and the Year 10 CAE teachers who assisted students in preparing for their placements. Additionally, a big thank you goes to the Work Preparation Team for organising the placements and visiting students during their Work Experience.
