This week, Year 10 students participated in the Creative Internship Program. This unique Program connects students with a diverse community of professionals, allowing them to explore various career fields. By engaging in workshops and shadowing professionals in their day-to-day operations, students gain first-hand insights that can guide their future career options.
Students were able to choose from the Programs below, selecting their first and second preferences. The Barista course was the most popular!
- Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Creative Problem Solving Workshop at UTS Business and Management.

Students also gained insights into how SBS tailors language content to meet the diverse needs of Australians. A special highlight of the day was hearing from the Governor-General address all SBS employees. To top it all off, students had the chance to record content for the SBS podcast, Learn English.
