As part of their program, the majority of students are required to do 1 day per week of Workplace Learning (WPL) for 10 weeks during Terms 2 and 3. Their work right logbook is a necessary component of their course and will be checked weekly by the WPL team and the students’ teachers.
We will be checking the logging of hours as well as the information about their tasks completed during the day. Doing workplace learning is an opportunity for the year 11 and 12 students to put into practice the skills learnt during their VET courses and the 9 Employability skills.
The information obtained through their logbook also assists in the preparation of a resume. Our school is very privileged to have the support of many local Mandurah and surrounding areas businesses who kindly give our students a chance to gain experience, all of which will put them in good standing for post-school transition/employment.
