Work Experience Program

At HCS, we encourage students in Years 9-12 to undertake Work Experience at least once during their time at school. Students are able to identify a career that interests them and then work in that industry for a week. This continues to be an invaluable experience for our students, as they are able to see the reality of their chosen industry and engage in real world learning and problem solving.

Work Experience is the responsibility of the student to organise, and we are here to assist at any step of the process. We are incredibly thankful to the organisations that dedicate their time to assisting our students on their journey to discover their career aspirations.

Please see below for the forms for completion for undertaking Work Experience, and contact us at any stage for assistance and guidance.
