White Card Course
Twenty students across Years 9-12 recently spent a day completing their White Card which will enable them to do work experience and pursue employment opportunities including construction related apprenticeships, architecture and labouring jobs on building sites. Congratulations to the students who chose to take advantage of this opportunity. Our thanks go to both Mr Whelan and the Regional Industry Education Partnerships (RIEP) which is a NSW Government initiative that strengthens connections between local industry and secondary school communities and supports students in planning their future career pathways. Their support in subsidising the course was much appreciated.
