Year 10 Work Experience
Congratulations to our Year 10 students on completion of work experience at the end of August. Although nervous at the start the students learnt the importance of punctuality and reliability. These are qualities that employers state are vital to secure and maintain casual employment. Melton Secondary College would like to thank all the local employers who have given students the opportunity to experience the world of work. Congratulations also to the students who have been successful in gaining casual employment through the work experience program.
VU Careers Bus
On 11 September a team of student ambassadors attended Melton SC at lunch time to offer VCE students advice about courses, scholarships & an explanation of the First Year university model being introduced in 2018 at Victoria university.
We hope to get on board the VU Careers Bus again in 2018 to assist our students to plan their pathways and to promote Victoria University courses for our students.
