🌟 Year 10 Work Experience Success! 🌟
Last week, our Year 10 students spent two days on work experience, gaining valuable insight into the world of work. They embraced new challenges, adapted to different workplaces, and developed key employability skills including teamwork, communication, time management, and professionalism.
We are incredibly proud of the maturity, resilience, and positive attitudes they showed throughout their placements. Some students even impressed their employers so much that they have been invited to stay in touch about future apprenticeship opportunities!
Here’s what some of our students had to say:
💬 "After I had proved myself, they let me work on real people’s cars."
💬 "They were really nice, I enjoyed myself."
💬 "They let me try everything."
💬 "I learnt how to do better in a car body shop."
💬 "I helped set up a plane, and because of that they were able to leave 25 minutes early."
The experience has given our students greater confidence, new skills, and a clearer vision of their future pathways. A huge thank you to all of the employers who supported our students, and well done to every Year 10 student—you represented the school brilliantly. We are so proud of you all! 👏✨
