Beacon Polish Program
On Wednesday 13th August, students from classes 15TC and 41TC, together with Ms Yelena and Ms Gosia, attended the Beacon Polish Program at the HIA Building in Hindmarsh. It was a lovely day that started with a short bus trip, leading us to a warm welcome from the amazing facilitators of the workshop, who introduced us to a program designed to build confidence and prepare students for the transition to employment.
Students participated in a lively panel session where industry professionals shared their experiences and advice. This was followed by a hands-on workshop, which gave students the chance to practise skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem solving. During the networking lunch, students engaged in meaningful conversations with mentors, gaining insights into career pathways and the importance of transferable skills.
The program was practical, inspiring, and highly relevant to our students’ futures. By the end of the day, many felt more confident about their next steps and motivated to pursue their career goals. Every student also received a certificate of participation, making the experience even more rewarding. It was a valuable day that combined learning, interaction, and real-world preparation.
