Recently, a group of students from Grade 10–12 accompanied by Mr. Tepper had the exciting opportunity to take part in the Smith Family’s Work Inspirations two-day excursion, exploring a range of industries and future career pathways.

With visits to ANZ Bank, Hotel Grand Chancellor, Du Cane Brewery, and Fairbrother Construction, students were immersed in a variety of engaging and hands-on experiences designed to broaden their understanding of the world of work.

Across the two days, students learned about the different roles within each organisation, the skills required, and the potential pathways into each industry. From hospitality and banking to brewing and construction, each session highlighted the real-world opportunities available to young people and allowed them to ask questions, participate in practical tasks, and begin to consider their own future directions.

A huge thank you goes to Damien and Vanessa from The Smith Family for their co-ordination and ongoing support, as well as the four host businesses for their time, generosity, and willingness to inspire the next generation of workers.

This was a valuable experience for all involved and one that will no doubt leave a lasting impact on our students as they begin thinking more seriously about their careers.
