Starting in Year 8, students begin learning about work and jobs. These lessons help students:
- Discover what they’re good at and what they enjoy.
- Learn what is expected at work.
- Practise different ways of talking at work.
- Understand work-related words.
- Explore different jobs they might not have thought about before.
Work Experience for Senior Students (Years 11 and 12)
Students in Year 11 and 12 must do at least 55 hours of work experience each year. This is part of a program called ADWPL, made by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority of WA.
To pass the program, students must:
- Complete a Log Book and a Skills Journal.
- Find workplaces that match their interests.
- Contact these workplaces (with help from staff) to arrange their work experience.
Our Senior Students go to their work placement one day a week throughout the school year. This helps students get ready for real jobs in the future, helping them to “build independent futures”.
