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. 

Check out our Student Opportunities weekly email for work experience information and links for Wilmar Sugar Limited Australia, Ergon Energy, Queensland Police Service, Whitsunday Regional Council and Defence Force opportunities. Work experience is not limited to these places so visit Ms Simpson or myself in B4 to collect an application form and to discuss your options.

Industry Events

Keep a look out for our upcoming industry events. 

Late last year we became both a Health Gateway school and Hospitality & 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 all local students.

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

Student Opportunities

Senior School students will receive their first Student Opportunities email for this year tomorrow. They will be emailed to students every week on Wednesdays until we launch our new platform. There’s information regarding apprenticeships, employment and training opportunities or students looking to transition to full time work.  As well as opportunities for students looking for after school employment.
