Year 10 Work Experience
Thank you for your ongoing support as we guide our Year 10 students through the important transition to Year 11. This is a significant step in your child’s school journey, and I truly appreciate the time and effort you have invested in conversations around subject selection this Term.
Following on from these discussions, many students have expressed interest in undertaking a work experience placement during the remainder of Year 10. All students have now had the opportunity to complete their mandatory Work Readiness Training during their fortnightly Careers class.
Once training is complete, students may request a Student Placement Record form from Mrs Meehan. This form must be completed by the student, their workplace, a parent/guardian, and the College before the placement can be confirmed.
Potential Work Experience Weeks for 2025:
- 22–26 September
- 1–5 December
- 8–12 December
Elsa Dixon Roadshow
Our Year 10 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students recently enjoyed an engaging presentation from NSW Health about the 2025 Elsa Dixon Scholarship. This program offers a School Based Traineeship (SBAT) with NSW Health in either the Allied Health or Individual Support pathway. Successful applicants are guaranteed ongoing employment after completing their HSC. Interested students are encouraged to collect application forms from Mrs Meehan.
2025 School and Industry Connection Day
The 2025 School and Industry Connection (SIC) Day will bring together local employers, industry representatives, and services to connect with students across the Macleay. This Careers Expo is a valuable opportunity for students to explore career pathways, ask questions, and network with potential future employers.
All Year 10 students will attend on Thursday 18 September 2025, made possible through our ongoing partnership with the Regional Industry Education Partnerships (RIEP) program.
