This term has been a very busy one for the Year 10 students. They have had many opportunities from being involved in construction, to learning how to be a Barista and to applying to be a part of medical research team at the University of QLD.

The main focus for Year 10's was around securing their location for their 4-Day Work Experience in Term 2. It was enlightening to see how many of the Year 10 students had an idea of what they would like to do in the future....I know at that age I certainly had no idea!

I have seen the likes of: 

- Tradesman (carpenter, tiler, diesel fitter, and electrician to name a few)

- Engineer (chemical, mechanical, and civil)

- Education (early childhood, primary and secondary teaching)

- Healthcare (aged care nurse, surgeon, psychologist, cosmetic nurse, dentist, pharmacist to name a few)

- Defence Force

- Animal Care (VET, Vet Nurse, Zookeeper)

We were lucky to have Kate and Phil from SCIPS (our external company) who will be assisting us in managing the Year 10 Work Experience Placements. A reminder for the following information for when Work Experience is and when registrations close:

- Registrations Close: Friday 25th March 3pm

- Work Experience Dates: Monday 9th - Thursday 12th May - Week 5, Term 2

Our Excellence Academy staff will be visiting local Primary Feeder Schools this Term to display what each Excellence Program offers to students and how they can be a part of such a wonderful opportunity. Our current Excellence Programs in 2022 are Football/Futsal and IGNITE; with ESports and Dance joining us in 2023.

The RVSSC Community Open Day on Saturday 7th May will have all Excellence Programs showcasing their own specific spin to the local community members on why their student should be a part of their program so make sure to get involved on the day. 

Please stay tuned for when our Excellence Program Trial Dates are in Term 2 and Term 3.
