Transition Program

The Transition Program allows students in Year 9 to 10 to gain experience in the working world whilst still at school. Students work one to two days and are at school three to four days. This program can go for a few weeks, a term or longer and caters to those students looking at transitioning from school to work. The Transition Program is not to be confused with work experience.

Work Experience Program

Year 10 students participate in the Work Experience Program in Term 4 for two weeks. The two week program allows students to gain experience in the working world and to tryout different career options. Students generally gain part time work from this program.
