Macarthur Area Careers Expo

Last week some Year 11 students attended the Macarthur Area Careers Expo. This was an opportunity for them to ask questions and gather information from a wide range of Industry and University representatives.

TAFE Visit

This week 60 students from year 10 attended a visit/tour of Campbelltown TAFE. Here they were introduced to the various courses on offer at TAFE and were able to hear from some Course Coordinators re: their programs and the students were also given the opportunity to ask questions. Students also experienced the learning spaces that TAFE offers to get a sense of what it could be like to attend TAFE as a pathway post school.

 WORK EXPERIENCE: Lachlan Chadwick

I recently had the opportunity to attend a week of work experience with the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UNSW. One of the highlights of my week was the opportunity to engage in discussions and activities related to diverse engineering fields, including chemical engineering, structural design, and innovative technologies.

From understanding the intricacies of sustainable water treatment processes to exploring the structural elements of iconic buildings like the Opera House, I was able to immerse myself in the multifaceted world of engineering. Participating in practical exercises, such as designing a bridge to withstand specific loads, was both challenging and rewarding.

Applying theoretical knowledge to real world scenarios faced in industry allowed me to grasp the importance of sustainability practices, material selection, and the human factors involved in engineering solutions. I found the experience very insightful, reaffirming my career aspirations in engineering. I look forward to future endeavours in this dynamic field, excited by the endless opportunities for innovation and growth that lie ahead.

The College encourages students in Year 10 to complete work experience this year. If there are any Year 10 students interested in participating in Work Experience, please email or visit Mrs Dallene Jones for further information.
