Work Experience
During the week from 10 to 14 June, the Year 10 cohort attended Work Experience which is a career pathway activity that the College endorses and encourages Year 10 students to attend. The College believes that this activity provides students with an insight into the world of work and provides students with an opportunity to experience a workplace environment and develop an understanding of the skills and training required to follow a career path. The range of workplaces attended by the Year 10 students varied from Architecture, Aviation, Health, Veterinary, Agriculture and Automotive just to name a few. From all reports provided by the host employers, the students behaviour, enthusiasm, and attitude towards their work experience was exemplary. We look forward to future discussions with Year 10 students and their families regarding pathways in Term 3.
