On Wednesday, 29^th May, our Grade 10 students were extremely fortunate to be able to attend a presentation delivered by Matt from Fairbrother and Damien from Degree C.  The presenters urged our Grade 10s to set themselves up for success in a highly competitive employment market by giving their best during their Grade 10 year.

In particular, the presenters stressed the importance of maintaining a strong attendance record, demonstrating a positive attitude at school, and showing a strong work ethic and a willingness to follow instructions and complete all set tasks. They explained that it is critical for our Grade 10s to gain the best possible assessments, particularly in Maths and English, and to focus on the development of strong work habits so that they improve their ability to tackle challenges, overcome obstacles and adversity, arrive on time and prepared for learning/work each day and work effectively and co-operatively in a team environment.

The Grade 10s also heard the importance of availing themselves of the opportunity to participate in Work Placements if they have a future career pathway in mind so that they gain practical experience and make some connections in their chosen area of interest.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Matt and Damien for giving up their time to come to Riverside High and provide our Grade 10s with an extremely informative and thought-provoking presentation. We are also extremely grateful to Mr Adam Child for organising this exceptional presentation and for all the incredible work which he does to provide our Grade 10 students with many and varied opportunities including Work Placements, presentations, and excursions.
