Students are encouraged to talk to their career Practitioner or Pastoral care class teachers at school. Students 14 years and over are eligible to participate in workplace learning programs.
Students are required to contact employers from the Inplace website which can be found through the student backpack portal. If students have been accepted for a placement through family or friends talk to your career practitioner to have them registered on Inplace.
