Work Experience

Work Experience is an excellent opportunity to gain an understanding of the industry that a student is considering for a career and assist with the transition from school to work. Valuable industry contacts can be made, added to a resume, or the experience used as a pre-requisite for further study. It allows students to see the nature and diversity of employees in the workplace and the ability to improve work ethic, maturity, confidence and self-reliance. It can also be the opportunity to extend learning in the classroom into practical applications in the workforce. 

A number of industries have work experience opportunities available over the school holiday period. If your child is interested, they can collect an application forms from B4. 

Industry Events

Keep a look out for our 2025 industry events. 

Late last year we became both a Health Gateway School and Hospitality and Tourism Gateway School.  We are excited to host our first event this month, the Healthcare Career Pathway Event, where we will have healthcare professionals showcase their industry to local students from across the Whitsundays.

We also look forward to being able to offer students opportunities including micro credentials, excursions, webinars and access to industry. Watch this space!

Student Opportunities

Senior School students will receive their first Student Opportunities email for the year. These opportunities are emailed to students every week until we launch our exciting new Industry communications platform. 

These Student Opportunity emails also include information and opportunities about:

• Work experience;
• Apprenticeships and traineeships – full-time and school-based;
• Save the dates;
• Casual and full-time employment;
• Training and career pathway sessions;
• Scholarship and open day information – there are many university webinars at the moment, be sure to check out their websites to register or check your emails for the links.

Please encourage your child to visit B4 for more information on the positions available, school-based traineeships & apprenticeships, or work experience opportunities.

Link and Launch

A huge congratulations to our 2024 Graduates – what an outstanding achievement!

I hope your graduate has been enjoying the summer break. I know that some of our graduates have found themselves already trekking onto their next pathway.

If your graduate is yet to find their next step and they would like some assistance to transition into study or work, Link and Launch can help.

I would love to have a chat and see if I can support our graduate towards their next goal and search through their options together.
