Work Experience 2025 - Thursday 12th June to Tuesday 17th June
Year 10 students have Work Experience scheduled for June, though it is timetabled to fit in our other school requirements, meaning there is a crossover in weeks. We appreciate this is not ideal for employers, but we still want to offer this opportunity to all Year 10 students.
The attached forms need to be signed by the family and the employer before returning to Reception for Mr Black to sign.
The College will forward the completed form to the family and the employer.
Forms are due by Monday 26th May 2025.
Students who do not return completed forms will attend an on campus program which focuses on employability skills and financial literacy.
