In the last week of Term 3, Year 10 students will complete a week of Work Experience. In this week they will not attend school but instead attend a workplace in an area where they might consider a career one day. This is an exciting opportunity to see how the world of work operates. The week of work experience is a compulsory component of the Year 10 curriculum which contributes to their Certificate I in Workplace Skills.
