Work Experience

Work experience placements are being sought by our Year 10 students. It has been a difficult process for them, with many businesses that we have used before unable to take students. If you have any links to employers who may be interested in having a student from Monday August 5 to Friday August 9, we would like to contact them. Please let us know and send any contact details to cfreney@shelford.vic.edu.au

Early Entry Programs

A reminder to our Year 12 students and families that early entry programs for Swinburne University, Australian Catholic University, La Trobe University and RMIT have either opened for applications or will be opening soon. More details can be obtained from the Careers office.
