Careers and Pathways 

Year 10 Work 

Experience Dates

Banksia:  Monday 19 to Friday 23 July 2021

Acacia:    Monday 2 to Friday 6 August 2021

Paperwork is due to your Pathways Teacher by the last Pathways Class of term 2, Period 3 Monday 21 June 2021. This is a great opportunity to learn about work in a career that interests you. Hurry as companies only accept a certain number of students each year and opportunities close quickly. Ask family, friends and acquaintances if you can do your placement with them.

Do not leave it to the last minute, as this will put you under pressure.
