What's happening in the careers space!

Work Experience

Work experience is subject to Principal approval and may be granted if the employer grants a work trial to a student or a student wants to clarify their decision making about career progression into a specific industry.

As part of the process the Careers Adviser if possible, will visit the site. I had the privilege of visiting Remondis at Unanderra and found not only our current student - Preston Wall working on site but former Vice School Captain (2000), Benjamin Ford working alongside Preston. In the photo, is L-R, Ben, Preston and Scott on site at Remondis.

NAVY LIFE

Thank you to Joel Dowdell for accompanying our 5 students to an all-day event at Darling Harbour and Garden Island hosted by the ADF.

Navy Life X was a great opportunity to learn more about life in the Navy and the variety of careers on offer in trades, engineering, communications, cyber, IT & intelligence, aviation, and leadership. Students enjoyed an action-packed tour of the Navy’s largest ship HMAS Adelaide and visited the Navy Life Expo to enjoy hands-on demonstrations of Navy life. They also gained their sea legs as they were transported to the Navy Life Expo on board a Navy Landing Craft.

Navy Life Expo gave our students the chance to speak with Navy personnel, get a preview of life in the Navy, learn about the training and professional development opportunities, and explore interactive exhibits at the Navy Life Expo, including:

• Navy VR, flight simulators, drones, and robots
• Top Secret Street (peek into Navy’s highly classified careers)
• Navy Lifestyle, Wellness & Culture experience
• Participate in Navy sport & fitness challenges.
• Watch the Navy E-Sports tournament.
• ADF Careers (start an application or expression of interest)
