Year 10 Work Experience
Work experience is the short-term placement of secondary school students with employers to provide insights into the industry and the workplace in which they are located.
In 2025, Year 10 students are required to complete their Work Experience placements during the week of 30 June to 4th July (Term 2, Week 11).
Students must fill in the Work experience form, attached here and get it signed by the employer, student, and parent, before submitting it to Mr. Li or Ms. Kapadia in the Pathways Office by 2nd May. The form will then be signed by the Principal.

As part of the program, in 2025, Year 9 students will:
- Complete a series of online questions and quizzes (on the Morrisby Profile website) at school.
- Receive a Morrisby Profile Report showing the results from the questions and quizzes, and possible jobs that match their abilities, interests and personality.
