Careers

This week is exciting for our Year 10 students who are on Work Experience. We have students placed in a broad range of career areas including healthcare, administration, teaching, retail, engineering, marketing, design, and advertising. It is a big commitment from these employers to take our students and we are appreciate them doing so. We are looking forward to hearing some wonderful stories of our students' experiences next week.
