Work Experience Year 10 for 2023

Work experience will occur at the end of Term 2 from Monday 19 – Friday 23 June. Work Experience is a short-term placement of secondary school students with employers to provide insights into the industry and the workplace in which they are located. It provides students with the valuable opportunity to:

• develop employability skills
• explore possible career options
• understand employer expectations
• increase their self-understanding, maturity, independence and self-confidence.

Students are advised to start seeking a work experience placement for these dates.

A Message from Head of Senior School

With the first term of 2023 coming to an end, we can reflect on the opportunities for Senior School students to demonstrate the qualities embodied by our school values - I.N.S.P.I.R.E. 

Students have demonstrated a range of qualities through many events that have promoted excellence, innovation, and success. Students have enjoyed the privilege of learning closely with their teachers and among their peers. With this, students have attended many learning opportunities including; KIOSC - DNA Manipulation & Genetic Technologies Excursion, Top Screen at ACMI, METEC Driver Training, and also had the opportunity to participate/coach in interschool sports.  All these events have provided students with a chance to extend their learning beyond the classroom. 

We would like to wish all students a restful and safe break. Make sure to take some time to look after yourselves and recharge your batteries after a busy start the year.
