Work Experience

Year 10 Work Experience Organisation Process

 

The Year 10 work experience program is well and truly underway. Students should be actively looking for a work experience placement at the moment.

 

Non-cadets:  must complete work experience during the Cadet Camp week, May 3-7. Students are expected to organise their work experience placement themselves, however parents can play an important role with workplace connections and help make the first approach to a possible employer.

 

Cadets: are encouraged to complete work experience in the Term 1, 2 or 3 holidays. However, in recognition of their commitment to cadets, work experience is not compulsory for these students.

 

All students will complete a work experience induction program in their Careers classes this term.

 

What are the next steps after successfully obtaining a position?

  1. Fill out the student and parent/guardian sections of the work experience arrangement form. Also fill out the travel and accommodation form if relevant to your child’s work experience.
  2. Take the form to the employer to sign.
  3. Return the form to the Careers office.
  4. Mr Rowe will then sign the form to confirm this placement. (All other signatures must be on the form before his.)
  5. You will then receive two copies of the completed form closer to the work experience week: one for you and one for the employer.

Work experience forms and travel forms are due Thursday, 25th March.
