Launch Work Placement Day – Year 8

Work Placement Day is in Term 6 and offers our students in Year 8, 9 and 10 the opportunity to get real experience of a workplace.

• In Year 8, students accompany a family member to work for a day to shadow them, observing and asking questions. This is intended to build their confidence and encourage open-mindedness when considering what they can learn from the adults in their lives about their strengths and interests.
• In Year 9, students are encouraged to reach out and consider their wider network when either deciding to shadow someone in a different profession or take part in a work experience day.
• In Year 10, students are encouraged and supported to be more independent, reaching out for work placements from the wider community.

In this session, students are introduced to what the day involves and parents/carers are informed of this valuable opportunity for their child.
