Students who wish to undertake work experience during their time at school must demonstrate how the work experience placement relates to the school curriculum program.

The Workplace Learning Agreement Form must be completed and returned to Mrs Ward within a minimum of two weeks prior to the commencement of the placement. This is to ensure that the placement can be authorised and all mandated risk assessments are completed. If students are unable to meet this timeframe, the placement may not be able to be authorised.
If students experience difficulty in securing work placement during school holidays and can obtain alternative opportunities during the school term, please contact Mr Branden Hill or Mrs Rose Ward at the College for further information.
"Workplace Learning has given me a great opportunity to pursue my future career as a diesel mechanic. I really appreciate the help the teachers have given me, with a big thank you to Mr Branden Hill, Ms Melissa Schubert, Mrs Ros Mattner and Michelle Bloom. Without them I would not have gained my new School-Based Apprenticeship with Chapman Heavy Mechanical." Josh, Year 12
