What have students been up to?

Year 10 Work Experience Program 2017

This is a reminder that the Year 10 Work Experience Program for 2016 is scheduled to take place during the week 24th to the 28th of July this year. This is the 2nd week of Term 3.

A major component of the program is for students to be active participants in the organising of their placement. It is also recognised that many students need support in finding their placements. To access this support I need them to come and make contact with me as soon as possible.

Once a placement is obtained I will prepare the relevant documentation for signing. For the preparation of the documentation I need the following information:

• Business Name;
• Business Address;
• Business Contact person – both First and Surname;
• Business Phone contact;
• Business email (if available).

Year 10 students undertaking a VET program this year are strongly recommended to combine their VET placement and Work Experience in the same placement.

ANZAC Day 

Thank you to all the students who represented the school at the Castlemaine service. The rain held off to allow everyone to pay their respects to those who have served and continue to serve protect our right to freedom. School Captains Meaghan & Ben were amongst the guest speakers and former student Lieutenant Colonel Mike Freeman gave a personal account on his service career. 

SRC Update

The SRC has been very busy! The second last day of term saw the SRC raise $1,350 for the World’s Greatest Shave with Ms McPherson dying her hair and Mr Samuel shaving off his beard. As part of the lunchtime activities, the Hall family kindly donated their time and expertise in setting up a bouncy castle and the SRC held a sausage sizzle with live music.

Delegates from the SRC attended the Victorian Government’s Youth Summit at the MCG. The summit gave young people aged 12 to 25 from across the state the opportunity to discuss the issues and ideas that matter to them.

Highlights from the summit were discussions around Employment opportunities for young people and mental health support in all schools.
