 Year 10 Work Experience

As you would be aware, Year 10s were due to go out on Work Experience in the last week of term – 21 to 25 June.

At this stage, there are still restrictions in place that may inhibit Year 10 Work Experience, so a final decision on this will be made early next week. In the event that the program is postponed, all Year 10 students will be at school for their timetabled classes.

Signing off with fingers crossed that it can go ahead this term.
