Work Experience 2025
At this time of the year all students in Year 10 are preparing to secure placements for work experience. Work Experience is a wonderful opportunity for students to gain an insight into the world of work and provides some unique possibilities for personal development.
We invite families and friends from SAC to make contact with Julie Stephenson (Work Experience Coordinator) if you, or the organisation in which you work, can offer a placement to support one or more students. We are appreciative of workplaces that so generously host students as a gesture of goodwill while sharing their knowledge of a career area with a young person.
Year 10 students spend considerable time during EIF lessons preparing for placement, including understanding of occupational health and safety and workplace requirements. As always, we look forward to visiting students out in the workforce in term 2 where they so often thrive and shine.
UCAT
We are sincerely grateful to Stella and Isabelle, class of 2023, who delivered an informative and thought-provoking presentation to Years 10,11 and 12 students who are potentially interested in pathways in Medicine, Dentistry and Oral Health. Having recently participated in the application process, Stella and Isabelle were able to provide invaluable insight as well as some useful tips and tricks. We wish them both well as they embark upon their studies in Medicine.
The University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT ANZ) is an admissions test used by the UCAT ANZ Consortium of universities in Australia and New Zealand for their medical, dental and clinical science degree programmes.
The test helps universities to select applicants with the most appropriate abilities and professional behaviours required for new doctors and dentists to be successful in their clinical careers. It is used in collaboration with other admissions processes such as interviews and academic qualifications.
Students interested in these pathways are encouraged to browse the website for more information:
