Work Experience Placements for Year 10 Students
Our Year 10 students are keen to get some work experience in a range of fields and industries as part of their Career Development program.
We would love to hear from members of our community who might be able to host a Year 10 student this year for some Work Experience (August 4 to August 8, 2025).
If you are able to support this valuable program, please email Trish Menadue or Pete Gibson
