Year 10 Work Experience
Monday 24 to Friday 28 June
Our Year 10 students should well and truly be planning and preparing for their upcoming Work Experience. Students will shortly be guided through the process of approaching businesses and organisations and practicing their “cold calling” skills. Then at the start of Term 2 students will start to complete their Occupation Health and Safety Modules in readiness for their week at work. Students will have the school holidays to finalise any work placement.
I encourage any student who requires further assistance in finding placement to visit the careers department.

The Defence Work Experience Program provides you people interested in careers in Defence the opportunity to sample life in Defence and learn more about the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
