Year 10 Work Experience - Term 4

Year 10 students have the opportunity to step into the world of work in Week 9 of Term 4 as part of our annual Work Experience Program. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore career interests, build confidence, and gain valuable real-world skills. Whether students are curious about trades, healthcare, hospitality, education, or something else entirely, now is the time to start thinking about where they’d like to go. Finding an employer early gives the best chance of securing a placement.

Tips to Get Started:

• Talk to family, friends, and neighbours – personal connections often lead to great opportunities.
• Visit local businesses and ask if they take work experience students.
• Think about what you enjoy and look for workplaces that match your interests.
• Don’t wait until the last minute – popular placements fill up fast!

Your teachers and careers advisor are here to support you with ideas, contacts, and paperwork.
