We were very proud of the way in which our Year 10 students approached their work experience week before Easter. Many surprised themselves with their ability to transfer existing skills to new situations and employers were extremely pleased with their work and attitude with some students ending their placements with offers of jobs and/or apprenticeships! Well done Year 10 and we look forward to supporting you over the next year as you decide which careers you would like to pursue in the future!

A great time was had by all, and we were certainly sad to leave the beautiful mountains! We are now planning our visit for next year, and we can’t wait to get back on the snow!
