Secondary Year 11

OHS and Work Skills

The Year 11 students are continuing to develop knowledge of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) standards for the workplace and apply their understanding to their Work Related Skills programs each Thursday.

SMP – The class has been working in the Manufacturing industry at Endeavour Foundation in Keon Park.  Students have had experience in packaging goods, despatching stock and processing orders.

STC – As a volunteer service, the students in this class have been undertaking a cleaning contract at a local church.  The students have been developing essential cleaning skills such as safely using cleaning chemicals and equipment, paying attention to detail when cleaning, and working independently.  These skills are essential both in the workplace and at home.

SJS - Students have been attending the Kevin Heinze Garden in Doncaster, focusing on skills required for the Horticulture industry.  Skills of weeding, pruning, planting, and ground maintenance have been developed. 

The Year 11 classes experience each of these programs on a term.
