20.01.2022 Congratulations to our wonderful students, who participated today in the MyRoad program. 13 female students from Years 9,10 and 11 had the opportunity to meet and connect with industry role models via Zoom. MyRoad gives young people the opportunity to engage with volunteer mentors from many different jobs and industries. This helps them better understand career paths available to them, and the changing world of work. The students talked over a range of issues including the importance of resilience, communication skills, teamwork and future planning. Thanks to the Beacon Foundation for this wonderful opportunity. We hope to run the program again in 2021, to give more students an opportunity to engage with industry role models.

20.01.2022 What a great opportunity for any school leavers! 2020 Year 12 School Leavers Wanted As you may have heard, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020/21 harvest seasons are going to be extremely challenging due to a shortage of labour usually provided by travelling workers.... To assist our local producers to get their crops into markets and on shelves, the Commonwealth Government has engaged Harvest Trail Service Providers such as Cozwine, to attract school leavers to the harvest and provide them with accredited training and a COVID safe harvest experience. A fully inclusive meals and accommodation package is available. To register for harvest employment opportunities, head to https://www.cozwine.com.au/harvest-trail-jobs/
