YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE

Year 10 Work Experience

Thank you to those who have already returned their forms.  Just a reminder to please complete the attached form and return it to Amelia Raper by Wednesday 11th October 2023. 

During Term 4, all Year 10 students will be required to participate in the Work Experience Program. The program provides an invaluable opportunity for students to learn and develop some of the many skills they need for employment. There are many benefits to students including:

• Best possible start to identifying career options.
• Meaningful input in the preparation for the transition from school to work.
• Opportunity to explore possible career pathways.

Information was sent to all Year 10 parents/carers on Wednesday 30th August by Amelia Raper and is included in this newsletter as an attachment. 

Students and parents are responsible for sourcing their work experience placements and this can be done either as one placement for Week 9 only or a full fortnight placement. Please note that either option is with the same employer.  

It is important that students undertake as much of the communication with employers as possible to practice valuable workplace communication skills. Students are encouraged not to use family businesses or previous work placements. 

As a general guide, work experience placements within approximately 2 hours or 200 km of the College are suitable. This enables the requirements of pre-placement checks and visits during the weeks of work experience to be undertaken. If the intended work experience placement is beyond this please contact Amelia Raper at the College to discuss your placement prior to making contact with the work experience host.
