Year 10 Work Experience Block

Those students who are not attending the Canberra excursion in Term 2, will be required to undertake a 5 day work experience block.

When: 20 - 24 May 2024 (Term 2 Week 4)

How: 
Students must arrange their own placement. There will be no classes for Year 10 that week. Students will either participate in the excursion to Canberra or will be participating in work experience. 
When you have found an employer to do your work experience with, you will need to complete the paperwork, called the Student Placement Record (SPR). It must be returned to school by 1 May 2024. (Term 2 Week 1)
Before you can attend any work experience, you must complete the online Preparing For Work Experience modules at the My Work Experience portal. The link for this is below.

Paperwork and Additional Information that can be accessed from the Year 10 Curriculum Google Classroom

The Student Placement Record - this must be completed and returned to the SJPC Office by 1 May 2024.

For those of you who will be travelling in the car of the employer you must complete the Vehicle Travel With Employer Form.

The Workplace Learning Guide For Parents and Carers

The Employers Guide to Workplace Learning (You must give the employer a copy of this. You can do that electronically or print it off.)

An introductory letter - is available for those of you who may require a little help when you are talking to employers in person or on the phone about the work experience.

Hints and Tips

You will have more success finding a work experience position if you go and see the business in person or if you ring them.

If you just send an email, you will not have much success. I would recommend that you go and see them in person or phone them first to arrange a time to meet with them.

As there are many students in Year 10 who will be trying to source a work experience position, do not procrastinate (this means, give yourself plenty of time and do not leave things to the last minute). If you have any questions, please speak to Mr Corsalini.
