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?
- 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.
- Take the form to the employer to sign.
- Return the form to the Careers office.
- Mr Rowe will then sign the form to confirm this placement. (All other signatures must be on the form before his.)
- 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.
