TESLA Work Experience Program 2024

We are offering students who will be in Year 10 to 12 in 2024 an opportunity to participate in the Women in Tesla Go Anywhere Program.

The program offers school-aged students an opportunity to partake in a work experience placement at Tesla. This year, we were the first school to participate in this new program and six students from Year 10 were involved. You can read more about their experiences here.

Our key focus will be providing students with an opportunity to gain insights into various STEM roles through hands-on experience and career advice.

Key Program Details:

  • Duration: 1 week  (Initial NSW placement date to be finalised but likely w/c 8th April)
  • Objective: To connect students with careers in STEM within the Automotive & Energy sector

To submit an expression of interest, please fill in this form by Tuesday 10th December 9am.

Future You Festival 2023

This week our Year 10s have been participating in the Future You Festival, a milestone event designed in collaboration with the Upper School.

Our week kicked off with ex-student Sam D’Souza who spoke to the students about being flexible with their career goals, ‘zig zagging’ and saying “yes to opportunities that allow luck to hit you in the face!”

The program aims to provide students with experience in:

  • turning strengths into talents
  • the importance of service
  • diverse career pathways
  • learning from industry talks
  • interview preparation
  • mock interview

The week culminates in two days offsite, at a service based volunteering opportunity and a day at Macquarie University engaging with talks about study pathways and topics such as Marketing, Brain and Cognitive Science, Business Analytics and Cybersecurity. 

We thank the industry guests, alumni and parents who have made this event incredibly special for the students in their transition into Senior School. 

Next week, we will provide a further report on Day 3 Mock interviews, the offsite activities and have some student reflections of their experiences throughout the week.
