Work Experience is a great way to get students thinking about career interests and exploring the world of work. All year 10 were responsible for planning, securing and participating in work experience. Networking is a great way to get a foot in the door or some of the exciting workplaces secured by our students including ANZ bank, stylists, dental specialists, architects, project managers and many more.

Students realised a sense of responsibility in workplaces which actually required them to show initiative and provide support in customer service in a range of retail and service work placements. Interestingly increasing number of employers are contacting me directly speaking highly of our students and impressed with their development of interpersonal and practical skills.

Well done to all students in the work experience program.

Student reflection

During my week of work experience at ANZ Bank, I gained valuable insights into how a major financial institution operates, for example observing different graphs, attending important meetings and forming presentations that summarise the problem/solution. I was placed in a city based branch where I got to observe the day-to-day responsibilities of different staff members, including operators (the people in charge of speaking to customers), the collective strategy team and acquisitions (those who set a guideline in sensing the eligibility of a customer).

Overall, my work experience at ANZ Bank was eye-opening and helped me understand the different roles within a bank and how they all work together to support customers. - Vanessa A at ANZ Bank
