School to work program

Our School to Work program helps students to manage their transition from school to further education, training and employment.

This program consists of:

  • 'school to work planning' initiative 
  • work education
  • workplace learning support
  • industry-specific career information
  • professional development support for staff and careers advisers
  • workplace learning – work experience and VET work placement.

Workplace learning programs are part of the NSW secondary school curriculum. The programs encourage students to spend a planned period of time, usually a week, in a workplace of their choice as a valuable enhancement to their learning in the classroom.

Opportunities to participate in work experience usually occur during Year 10, however, we do support students in Years 9, 11 and 12 as a means of supporting them to engage with learning and assist with transition planning. If you would like your child to participate in this opportunity, please contact the careers adviser.

Year 10 Work Experience

Year 10 work experience is scheduled to take place in Term 4. Students should be preparing for work experience by looking for possible placements with friends and family or by approaching organisations directly.

No student can participate in work experience without first talking to one of our careers advisers. A student placement form is a legal document that needs to be complete and returned to Ms Kabbara/Ms Shineberg (careers advisers) by the end of Term 3. If students need more information, they need to see Ms Kabbara/Ms Shineberg as soon as possible.

For more information, please download our guides and forms here;

All forms plus more information on work experience is available to download at our KNHS CAREERS website link below
