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 that focuses on employability skills and financial literacy.

Jobs and Skills Australia’s (JSA) has commissioned Victoria University (VU) to produce employment projections to May 2034.  Total employment in Australia is projected to grow by around 950,000 people (or 6.6%) 

over the next 5 years, and by nearly 2.0 million people (or 13.7%) over the next 10 years, reaching

16.3 million employed people by May 2034.

The structural shift in Australian employment towards services industries is projected to continue with 3 industries, i.e. Health Care and Social AssistanceProfessional, Scientific and Technical Services; and Education and Training, contributing to over half (50.4%) of the employment growth over the next decade.
