Over the last 3 school weeks, our Year 10 students have been participating in the Transition Program, designed to prepare them for the transition to Senior School and beyond.

Whilst we were too busy to take any photos (whoops!) a summary of the events is below. 

Week 1 of the program:

• Ms Stokman (Senior Studies Coordinator) presented to all Year 10 about options for Year 11 and 12 studies. This included Tertiary and Accredited pathways, Senior School expectations, and BSSS rules/requirements.
• Our Faculty Leaders also shared their subject offerings for Years 11 and 12, which provided students with a brief overview to explore further at our upcoming Senior Expo.

Week 2 of the program:

• This was focused on the upcoming Year 10 work experience week (1-5July). All of the Year 10 are preparing to enter the world of work (or volunteering) by obtaining a placement of work experience.
• Students drafted emails to potential employees, searched Google for organisations that were of interest to them, and completed the necessary forms.
• We also had many Year 10 students complete the White Card, Asbestos, and Silica courses, essential for attendance on a construction site.

Week 3 of the program:

• Students explored their potential career options – researching the potential growth of these careers, the average pay, duties/tasks, and study requirements.
• We were then lucky enough to have Keith Cantlie from Cantlie Recruitment and HR Solutions speak to all Year 10 students about the future of work and tips/tricks when applying for jobs.

All of the resources from this program are available on the Year 10 Transition Week Moodle Page. I congratulate the group on their engagement in the program and look forward to seeing them all at the Senior Expo next week!

YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE - 1st-5th July

This is a friendly reminder that the forms for the Year 10 work experience week are due at the end of Week 14 (Week 3, Term 2). All information about the process can be found on the Year 10 Transition Moodle page.
