Work Choice day is Tuesday May 18th.  Some year 12 students will be invited to participate in this day which involves visiting 1 or 2 workplaces.  An excellent opportunity to learn about the workplace.  Some great times have been had in the past when students have been able to venture into work situations that many of us have not experienced.
