YEAR 10 

WORK EXPERIENCE

The Year 10 mandatory 'Work Experience Week' is to take place in Week 9 this term, Monday 29 November - Friday 3 December. Under the current NSW Health orders we can not approve work experience while we are under Level 3, or higher, Covid-19 restrictions. Upon the return to school we will be under Level 3 plus restrictions and no work experience can be approved. 

If the restrictions on work experience are eased, suitable work experiences will be approved. You will be informed if this occurs. 

It is acknowledged that many businesses will find it difficult to accommodate work experience students under the current circumstances and as such finding a suitable work experience will be challenging for students. Should the restrictions on work experience not be lifted in time or students can not secure a work experience we will run a virtual work experience program. Further details of this program will be forthcoming.
