Work Experience 

Work experience is a great opportunity for students to explore their passion and understand what is expected in the workplace, while developing skills outside the classroom. It is also an opportunity to understand what they may need to do to prepare for the future. If students are intending on taking part in Work Experience in the upcoming school holidays, please ensure your signed paperwork is returned to the Pathways Office no later than Friday 25 November. Please see the Student Work Experience Booklet  for further information and instructions on engaging in work experience.
