Work Experience - Term 4 

Year 10 Work Experience – 16-20 November

All Year 10 students will complete a week of work experience instead of exams, 16-20 November.

Students who organised a placement for the start of Term 2 are encouraged to contact this business and see if they are able to complete work experience with them on these new dates. If so, students can use their original work experience arrangement form and get the employer and parent/guardian to initial the changed dates on this form. 

At this stage, placements must be in regional Victorian areas. This means some students who organised their Term 2 placements in Melbourne will need to reorganise.

VET students wanting to set up a placement in their VET industry should fill out a Structured Workplace Learning arrangement form instead of the work experience arrangement form.

Any students with VET commitments should attend their VET course on that day and organise work experience for all other days.

Arrangement forms are due Monday, 2 November.

Please contact me if you have any questions. mharms@monivae.vic.edu.au
