Year 10 Work Experience

The Careers Adviser, Kylie Salisbury, has been delighted with Year 10 students’ commitment to the Work Experience opportunity so far this year. During Work Experience students get to spend a week observing or shadowing professionals working in areas of interest to the student. Workplaces who have hosted Fortians so far this year include Opera Australia, Sky News, the NSW Treasury, as well as dental and orthodontic practices, solicitors firms, physiotherapy practices, the Academy of Interactive Entertainment, Sydney South West Area Health Service and automotive businesses.

Parents of Year 10 students who have not yet completed Work Experience should discuss possible host workplaces, and encourage their child to chat to Ms Salisbury to make arrangements for a Work Experience placement some time this year.

All Fort Street parents are asked to consider whether their workplace would consider hosting a work experience student, even if only for a day or two, and if so, to leave contact details with Ms Salisbury to follow up.
