Work Experience for Year 10 will be a two week block in Term 4 (27/11 - 1/12 & 4/12 - 8/12). Students are encouraged to start organising work experience as soon as possible so they don't miss out. Year 10 Work Experience is a school planned event and all students are expected to attend. Students not participating in work experience in Term 4 will be required to attend school as usual. Work Experience provides students with the opportunity to: Better understand the world of work, help their personal and social development, provide a clear perspective on choice of career and on the job training. Where do they go? To any industrial, commercial, professional, welfare or community organisation found acceptable to parents, students and the school. Students work the normal working day their particular job/employer works. This is done in order to have a realistic experience and understanding of the world of work. Should students be paid? No. work experience is an educational experience to which employers give time, planning, organisation, teaching and supervision. They help students learn about the job. If students are paid it voids the Department's insurance. For more information about work experience please contact Mr Des Crawford on 6331 3755.
