Year 10 students from St Philip’s Christian College have engaged in the workforce as part of their work experience week which ran from November 24 to 28.
St Philip’s Christian College head of senior school Mr Cameron Johnston said: “There have been a variety of professions and trades that they have been involved with, from electricians to cafes, from physiotherapists to music stores.” The purpose of the placements are to ensure that the students are exposed to an area of interest and can experience what it would be like if they were to continue working in that role in the future. It also works as an opportunity for students to cross ideas off their lists. “In making contact with employers during the week, I have been very proud to hear that all the students have represented themselves and the school in a very positive manner, and that they have been very impressed with their ability to work under pressure,” said Mr Johnston.
