What’s been happening

During week 3 of this term the Year 10 students took part in work experience. Students were engaged in an array of jobs through various industries and locations all over the state. These experiences have been so important as the students embark on their course counselling meetings and making decision about their pathways in VCE and beyond. All the students appreciated trying out an industry which can help them decide if they want to pursue a career in this field.
