They have approached their recent exam block with a mature attitude and have maintained a positive, respectful presence around the school. It is wonderful to see them not only engaging with their current studies but also beginning to think seriously about their future career paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In their&nbsp;last year assembly Year 10 students were introduced to the&nbsp;<strong>OLM Work Experience program<\/strong>. The key updates on how work experience will run this year include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flexible Timing:<\/strong>&nbsp;Unlike previous years, there is&nbsp;<strong>no compulsory week<\/strong>&nbsp;of work experience. Instead, students can attend placements at various times throughout the year. This flexibility allows employers to better support our students at times that suit their specific industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Student Responsibility:<\/strong>&nbsp;Students are responsible for sourcing their own placements. Please be aware that some fields can be highly competitive or difficult to secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paperwork &amp; Deadlines:<\/strong>&nbsp;All necessary documentation must be submitted at least&nbsp;<strong>three weeks prior<\/strong>&nbsp;to the start of the placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>High-Risk Placements:<\/strong>&nbsp;Certain industries (e.g., construction, animal-related fields) require additional paperwork due to the nature of the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Accessing Forms:<\/strong>&nbsp;All required forms and information are available on the Work Experience Site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To assist with their career journey, students recently completed\u00a0<strong>My Career Match<\/strong>, a personality based career profile. This tool generates a detailed report suggesting career paths that align with their individual strengths and traits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I encourage you to review this report with your child. It is important to remember that these suggestions are&nbsp;<strong>not definitive<\/strong>; rather, they serve as a brilliant starting point for conversations about roles they may not have previously considered and why certain occupations might suit their personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students have also been provided with links via Google Classroom to further their research. I recommend exploring these sites together:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobjump.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JobJump<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;(School code:&nbsp;<strong>olomcb<\/strong>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyond.edu.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Beyond<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myfuture.edu.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MyFuture<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information students can speak to our Leader of Pathways, Ms Lisa Formica.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I look forward to Term 2 supporting Year 10 as they navigate these exciting first steps toward their future careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Courtney Kramer, Instructional Leader of Wellbeing &#8211; Year 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we near the end of Term 1, I wanted to share how impressed I\u00a0have been with the maturity and focus displayed by our Year 10 students.
