giving students in years 10, 11 and 12 the opportunity to take part
in work experience, school based traineeships, Tafe courses, career
days and various programs with guest speakers from various industries

Our school policy is to support
interested students in obtaining a SAT. The school does not
have a set number of SATS nor can we automatically place students
in a SAT. Ms Elizabeth Kershaw is Keebra Park’s Community
Liaison Officer and she works with Senior Schooling HOD, Mr
Howe and with students, parents, industry and SCISCO to place
students in the most appropriate situations. Ms Kershaw and
Mr Howe may be contacted via the school office. Their offices
are situated at the eastern end of the Student Services Building
(Blue Building).
