WORK EXPERIENCE
First Week: Monday 16th May to Friday 20th May
Second Week: Monday 23rd May to Friday 27th May
Final preparations were underway before our students embark on their two weeks of work experience.
Work Experience is compulsory – There is no opt-out unless discussed with the Year 10 Team Leader: Mr Todd Miller.
Students MUST attend school, and make an appointment with Careers if they are still without a placement.
STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN HANDED PAPERWORK MUST COMPLETE THE TASKS THAT HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED BY CAREERS AND RETURN ASAP – WORK EXPERIENCE IS NOT SECURED UNTIL THE FORMS HAVE BEEN SIGNED OFF BY CAMPUS PRINCIPAL – CLEO LAZARIS.
Before our students started their work experience placements, we made the students aware of the following:
BE ON TIME – students are to turn up 10-15mins before their start time and arrive back from their breaks 2-3mins before they end.
SHOWER EVERY DAY – personal hygiene has been an issue in the past (strong body odour) and so we encourage students to consider showering every day and applying an anti-perspirant deodorant (not body spray); make sure their clothes (no offensive logos), shoes and hair are also clean each day.
MAKE UP – excessive make-up on eyes, bold eyelashes and brows can be seen as unprofessional. We have encouraged students to opt for a more natural look.
STAY OFF YOUR PHONE! - Phones should ONLY be accessed during breaks - not a toilet break - a quick 3–5-minute trip to the loo could turn into 15-20 minute because of social media.
TIME TO LEAN = TIME TO CLEAN – we encourage students to look busy - sweep the floors, tidy a counter, straighten products on a shelf, pick up rubbish off the floor, clean some dishes, offer to put some tools away, offer to make some cuppas!
BE SEEN – students have been advised not hide behind shelving/racks/walls or doors – employers do notice their presence and absence.
JEWELLERY – should be kept to a minimum, if at all, and facial piercings should be taken out or covered up if/when asked. Jewellery can be a safety HAZARD!
ALWAYS ASK - to use tools or equipment. Safety is a priority!
BE POSITIVE - a positive attitude is the best thing students can take with them to their work placement. Employers will appreciate students who make a positive contribution to their workplace!
COMMUNICATION – is key! If students are sick and are not able to make it to their placement of any given day, they are to contact the employer AND school (either Suze Benson or Todd Miller) before they are expected at work. Likewise, if students have any concerns about their work placement then they must contact Suze or Todd immediately.
SMILE … and HAVE FUN! Students will learn a lot about their work preferences over this two week period and will bring back this knowledge with them ready to commence COURSE COUNSELLING for their 2023 pathway and subject preferences!
