YEAR 10 NEWS – Work Experience

Experiencing and engaging with local industry and the world of work provides opportunities for our students to develop greater awareness of future career opportunities. Some of our students who recently participated in the work experience program and explored careers based on their current aspirations, provided positive feedback on their experiences.

“Before I started I wasn’t sure about doing something in law but now I am positive I want to do something within law”

Grace Broderick JR9 at Bendigo Law Courts

“Over my placement I gained some valuable advice to do with what goes on in the industry, what subjects to take and things to do to further my interest in the career. I now feel so much more certain towards the subjects I will pick and the pathways I can take to get in to the career”

Freya Beare MK8 at Wills St Eyecare
