Hi all,

Term 2 continues to ramp up opportunities for students to find out more about all types of post school options available to them. It is also a time when students should be working hard to meet all assessment deadlines and set some personal goals for themselves around what they want to achieve by the end of the year.

Our Flinders University Inspire Program has begun for year 12 students this term. Students who nominated have been linked with a University mentor where they will meet fortnightly either face to face or via Zoom to discuss all things about University. The Flinders University team then meet as whole student group four times throughout this term to provide further support. It doesn’t matter if students are looking at Flinders or not they will help students with course selection, scholarships, accommodation ideas and how to navigate university life as a rural student. We are very pleased to have Flinders on board again this year. This follows on from the successful university camp we held in week 1 this term.

Adelaide University will be here to see any year 11 and 12 students on Wednesday 7 June at 9.00am in the library. On Friday 23 June in Beyond Tomorrow, Rural Doctors Association will meet with any students interested in medicine or other allied health careers, allowing students to engage and discuss their future in health. 

SA Ambulance - Drug and Alcohol Presentation

Thankyou to Kieran and Demi Johnson who presented to our year 11 cohort in week 4. They touched base on the precautions of drugs and alcohol from their perspective as Ambulance Officers. 

Studiosity

Please see below an overview of Studiosity that we have been utilising this year. Students are able to upload their assessment task for their work to be assessed before submitting to their teacher.

Career Opportunities

Other career opportunities were recently presented by Jess Linsell from MTE SA who met with a number of year 12 students during Beyond Tomorrow BT last week. She provided good advice around job searching, resume writing and interview techniques as well as letting students know what current jobs are available in the local area. She will continue to be a positive support for students who wish to seek traineeships, apprenticeships and other jobs in the Riverland. We will continue to advertise any jobs that are available through our student bulletin and newsletters.

Currently available:

• hairdressing apprenticeship,
• diesel mechanic apprenticeship,
• SSO position at a local child care centre.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me 8586 6974.
