Work Experience

In the final week of Term 2, year 10 students participated in the work experience program. This was an excellent opportunity for students to focus on their career interests and trial what employment is all about. Students eagerly set out into the local community in search of their dream job. Many found this experience rewarding, yet others found it a challenge. Some found placements in sought after industries including laboratory research, the police force, animal welfare, hospitality, retail and the legal industry. The feedback received from both employers and teaching staff who visited our students was very positive. Our year 10 students, handled themselves in a mature, respectable and very professional manner.
