canteen ladies for providing a fantastic<br />
breakfast. This year’s guest speaker was<br />
Monette Russo, Olympian, Commonwealth and World Championship<br />

The team competed earlier this term in the Division Round Robin,<br />
Year 10<br />
METEC Driver Training Centre excursion<br />
On Wednesday the 23rd of<br />
May, 54 excited and slightly<br />
inexperienced Year 10’s took<br />
to the roads of METEC in Bayswater<br />
North.<br />
During the day, they were<br />
educated about road rules<br />
and dangers on the road to<br />
be aware of as well as driving<br />
with a qualified driving<br />
instructor around the course.<br />
Students also had the opportunity<br />
to sit for their Learners<br />
Permit – congratulations<br />
to those students who now<br />
have their L-plates!<br />

Careers..<br />
Year 10 Work Experience<br />
Work experience for Year 10 is in last week of term- Monday June<br />
25th, for one week. We hope the Year 10’s have a wonderful experience<br />
and that they utilized this time to explore career possibilities<br />
or embrace other opportunities that may eventuate from this experience.<br />
Students received a Work Experience Journal, at the Year 10 level<br />
assembly, which contains vital information including an evaluation<br />
form, a thank you certificate and notes on succeeding at Work Experience.<br />
finishing runners up for the<br />
day.<br />
Key points worth highlighting.<br />
• All students must have returned the completed Work Experience<br />
Arrangement form to ensure full legal cover<br />
• All students should have completed the O H & S training<br />
• All students should contact employers to check on important details<br />
such as what to wear, lunch arrangements etc.<br />
The college wishes all students the very best for their week at work<br />
and we look forward to hearing about their diverse and exciting<br />
experiences. Students will be visited or rung by staff to check on<br />
their progress. If parents have any concerns with any aspect of Work<br />
Experience please don’t hesitate to contact Mrs Allison.<br />
