School Based Traineeships
This year one of our Year 10 students, Ebony Williams, was able to take advantage of a
great opportunity to begin a School Based Traineeship (SBT) with the local Department
of Parks and Wildlife. Ebony participated in the PDHS Work Experience program last
year at DPaW and they were so impressed with the attitude and work ethic she
displayed then, they offered her this Traineeship.
An SBT involves a student from Year 10,11 or 12 joining the workforce for one or two
days per week ( usually one day for Year 10’s) and being paid for the time they work as
well as completing a Certificate II or III in a related area. This means that students can
still work towards completing their Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE)
at the end of Year 12 at school, while gaining valuable work experience, getting paid and
completing the Certificate requirements for WACE as well. SBT’s can be applied for just
like a normal job application and are set up between the school, the employer and a
separate training authority. If any parents would like further information about these
opportunities please contact the school.
Ebony works at DPaW every Friday and some weekends and Public Holidays, and she
has been able to participate in a huge variety of programs from wildlife trapping and
population monitoring to customer service at many of the local National Parks. We
would like to thank DPaW and Tracey Robbins for the opportunity and experience they
have provided for one of our students, and congratulate Ebony for being an outstanding
ambassador for our school.
