YEAR 9/10

This year, Year 9 and 10 students are learning together as three groups. 

We are all focusing more on jobs. Together with our parents we have been having discussions about our future jobs. 

At Jackson School, we will be running our school café from Term 2. Last week, as teams, we voted on our café’s name. The marketing group will announce the name soon. When selecting the name, we learnt in different groups, how to make decisions in a democratic way. 

For the smooth running of our café, we are learning about safety in the workplace, especially in the hospitality industry. We are learning about employability skills as well and have started to develop these skills wherever and whenever possible.  We are looking forward to taking part in a Food Handling Course at school, arranged by our PLT leader. 

This year, our literacy and numeracy foci are also related to work education.
