Here’s what’s happening in CAREERS

Thanks to Miss Collins, and extra special thanks to Ms. Barb and Mrs Kim for getting our Year 9 and our Work related Skills students in Year 10, Parents/Guardians consent for the excursion to the BGKLLEN Career and Industry Expo yesterday in Beaumaris Secondary College - almost 100 students.

Information was gleaned from all the Exhibitors as our students asked questions about their future pathway.

Thanks to our wonderful teachers Miss Collins, Mr. Tarwala, Mr. Tickner, Ms. Koka and ES staff member Lan for accompanying our students to the BGKLLEN for providing bus transport so that we could get our students to Beaumaris Secondary College. More photos and details in our School newsletter.
