Work Experience gives Year 10 students the opportunity to gain an understanding of the world of work. Not only does it offer “experience” it also gives students confidence as they face life beyond school.

The Rock Central School’s students are fortunate that they have such a low student - teacher ratio. We offer one on one assistance to students to help them find the placement they want and need. Personal guidance and encouragement.
