WORK EXPERIENCE
Work experience is the short-term placement of students with employers to provide insights into the industry and the workplace in which they are located. Students are encouraged to organise their work experience placement early so that they have the greatest chance of securing their place of choice.
It provides students with the valuable opportunity to:
- Develop employability skills.
- Explore possible career options.
- Understand employer expectations.
- Increase their self-understanding, maturity, independence, and self-confidence

BRIGHT FUTURES
In 2011, after 15 years of teaching, Danielle O’Brien followed her dream to create a place where learning is fun, playful, and hands-on. That’s how Bright Futures began!
The programs are designed to build confidence, creativity, and imagination through play.
By 2018, Bright Futures had grown so much that it moved into bigger premises at 2132 Fifteenth St, Irymple VIC 3498, thanks to a partnership with Kate French from Side by Side Psychology. Today, classes run from Monday to Saturday, buzzing with energy and learning.
