Work Exp @ Numurkah Explained
Year 10
At Numurkah Secondary College Year 10 students participate in a week of work experience as part of their ‘Careers’ subject. This normally takes place during Term 2.
Mrs Scadden, the College’s Careers Advisor works closely with students to explore skills, interests and personality type to establish ideas for a work experience placement. This is what we call a MIPS (Managed Individual Pathways) plan.
Students use the Shepparton Work Experience blog to help locate placements and find all other relevant information for work experience.
This blog (Careers@Numurkah) is designed as a social networking tool to enable students to record their experiences whilst on placement – alternatively students complete a written journal. All content is monitored by Mrs Scadden.
Year 11 & 12
Senior students are encouraged to build their resumes and work skills by organising placements during school holidays (not the Christmas break however). Mrs Scadden is happy to discuss placements with students and is readily available during recess or lunch.

i have learnt that having sexual material could offend some people in the work place people should be considerate of others and not put anything up in the first place.
Someone who sexually harasses someone in the workplace eg. if a boy touches a girls leg and she does not like it then she can refer the matter on to someone higher than her and that person who touched her will be fired within 24 hrs of the complaint being made…

”What did you learn today about Bullying and Harassment that you didn’t know before”
Today I learnt that Bullying and Harassment in the work place are unacceptable whatever the situation.
It will not ( should not ) be tolerated.
I already had a very good understanding of what Bullying is and what Harassment is.
