There’s plenty happening in the Careers Office this term, with great opportunities for students to gain valuable experience and qualifications. Here’s what’s coming up:

Year 10 Work Experience – 16-20 June

Year 10 students will be heading out for Work Experience from 16-20 June, gaining firsthand insight into the workforce and exploring future career pathways. If you’re still looking for a placement, now is the time to secure one!

Calling Our Penola Community! If you or someone you know can offer a Year 10 student a work experience opportunity, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact Jen Doan at jdoan@penola.vic.edu.au.
