Year 10 students have been introduced to career literacy while learning about work independence, occupations, and OH&S in the workplace. Students will soon complete the online ‘A Job Well Done.’ This is an Education Department requirement that shows student’s workplace OH&S understanding.

Year 11’s are continuing with certificates in Workplace Skills, Screen & Media, Cooking and Horticulture. These courses are a wonderful opportunity for students to gain industry training. It is possible that not all students will pass every unit of work, however, the units students pass may be transferred under Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and possibly used for similar studies. 

Year 12s are working towards completing their secondary education and will soon transition away from high school into employment services, educational pathways, or day services. Students need their NDIS/SLES and in some instances the Disability Support Pension (DSP) to access post school services. 

The Certificate II Horticulture students have a wonderful opportunity to visit the Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne. Students will see various garden designs, name plant species, and watch Horticulturists in action. This excursion will give students an opportunity to see a variety of plants, flowers, shrubs, grasses and trees, ask questions and connect classroom theory to real life.

Naranga community come along to our Career Information Night. Meet providers and find out about Day Services, Disability Employment Services, educational options & pathways. This is your opportunity to meet and connect with the Brotherhood of St Laurence for NDIS/SLES information and support. Naranga School students will provide light refreshments. Leave with a show bag full of various information to help you make informed decisions about services, educational options and pathways. 

• When: May 22nd, 2024
• Location: Naranga’s BER building
• Time: 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm

This term year 11 students will take part in Morrisby My Career Insights. My Career Insights helps students make more informed and confident choices in their subject selections in senior secondary school, and to support career transition decisions and conversations. The consent form and flyer will be sent home soon.

Towards the end of June, Year 11 & 12 students will visit Chisholm Frankston. Students will see various facilities, classrooms and industry training areas. This visit offers students an insight into future possibilities to post school education and training.
