​Work Experience week for Year 10 Students will be occurring in Term 2 Week 10 from the 19th to the 23rd of June 2023. Work Experience is an important component of the Year 10 Senior Pathways and Careers Education program. In this program, Students receive extensive coaching and support to help them become work ready. This week is an optional week for Students and if Students choose to participate, they will attend the place of work for the duration of the week. If Students do not take up this opportunity, they are required to attend School as normal.

Students must find their own work experience placement and complete the Work Agreement document with the work provider details. Finding their own placement, assures that students get the Work Experience placement they want. The skills Students develop in seeking work placements are invaluable and help them develop confidence in the world outside of School. The Work Agreement provides Work Cover insurance and indicates the scope of work to be undertaken by the students.

The Work Agreement document is to be signed by you, the Parent/Guardian, the Student and Work Provider and emailed to Ms Karan Sandor at knico39@eq.edu.au. Alternatively, your Student can hand in a hard copy of this to Ms Sandor, who is located in the TRAS room in G block. The Work Agreement document is to be completed and returned to the School by the 31st of March to provide the School with enough time to secure and verify the placement.

Students will also receive extensive coaching and guidance at school through the Wavell Development Program on a weekly basis to help support them to undertake Work Experience.

We look forward to a successful year with our Work Experience Program. If you have any questions regarding work experience please contact Ms Karan Sandor on 3350 0333 or email knico39@eq.edu.au.
