Kristina Delaney, Work Experience Coordinator
Year 10 Work Experience

As Work Experience Coordinator, it’s always a pleasure to reflect on the incredible journeys our students undertake as part of their work experience placements.

Work experience is more than just a week away from the classroom. It’s an opportunity for students to step into the world of work, explore possible career paths, and begin to build the skills and confidence they’ll need in the future. Whether they spent their week in a hospital, a primary school, a law firm, a construction site, or a local café, every student returned with new insights — and often a new sense of direction.

One student reflected:
“It was quite interesting and eye-opening to witness and help with all the work that needs to happen behind the scenes to keep the organisation running. It showed me how much thought should go into the career I choose to pursue, as there will be a lot more to it than initially meets the eye.” This kind of reflection captures exactly why work experience is so valuable — it bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-world understanding.

A heartfelt thank you goes to all the employers who welcomed and supported our students — your time and mentorship are truly appreciated.

If any local businesses would like to offer placements next year, we’d love to hear from you!
