In School Work Experience

• This program is essential to establish the benchmarks for appropriate workplace behaviour, communication and social skills. It allows the student to begin their work placements in structured and familiar surroundings.



• Examples of placements include:
  • Duty Monitor
  • Sports Monitor
  • Library Assistant
  • Canteen Helper
  • Office Assistant
  • General Maintenance Assistant

Work Crew

• Generic work skills and social skills will be extended as the students travel together with appropriate support staff, to work together at a site in the community.
  


• Students will travel from school to the site and return back to school to go home at the end of the school day.



• Crews operate with a small number of students attending one day per week for an extended period.

Independent Work Experience

• When students have the necessary skills needed they will participate in Independent Work Experience



• Students travel to and from the work site independently with much lower levels of school monitoring.



• Some students will be supervised by brief school staff visits to monitor progress while others may require the support of a job coach particularly in the initial stages.



• Students are responsible for their own organisation (e.g. time, money, travel, dress and behaviour management).
