Well, it's only Week 5 and our students have been buzzing in & out of the College with a number of students having now started their learning at WesTEC and TAFE and number of other students also beginning their school-based apprenticeships & traineeships this year. It's been a busy start to the year but all of our students have been demonstrating our core values of respect, responsibility and perseverance as they meet their new teachers and classmates, and balance their mix of lessons with their external training & employment.

I'd like to remind all students to reach out to our staff in the Careers Hub if they have any questions or need any support with work experience or school-based apprenticeships & traineeships via pathways@ripleyvalleyssc.eq.edu.au 

I'm also happy to share a message from Mrs Amy Robson from the Health Academy - please see below:

As we embark on another exciting school year in the Health Academy I am once again filled with excitement and anticipation to see where our students end up this year. Last year, several of our students gained a Traineeship position and I am looking forward to supporting this years cohort in doing the same. Already, my classroom is experiencing a buzzing of enthusiastic students who are passionate about health. Last week we emersed ourselves in the depths of all things relating to Infection Prevention. Students were able to learn about how to prevent infections in the health setting including the use of Personal Protective Equipment and appropriate hand washing practices to name a few. I am looking forward to nurturing and fostering the passion of health in each and every single one of my students this year.
