PATHWAYS & CAREERS NEWS
The Year 10 Work Experience program has now
commenced kicking off with two Explore your Future
Days at ACU and Federation University. These one day
excursions saw 80 interested students participate in
hands-on activities in the areas of Nursing, Midwifery,
Para Medicine, Bio Medicine and Health Sport Science.
During the week of 24th-28th May we had around 50-60
students go out on Work Experience placements.
Students observed placements at a wide variety of
places, such as Ballarat Animal Shelter, City of Ballarat
Parks and Gardens, UFS Pharmacy, Ballarat Visitor
Information Centre, Childcare, Aged Care, Primary
Schools, Navy-HMAS Cerberus, Ballarat Tech School,
Ballarat Health Services - Hospital and Trade areas.
Unfortunately our second group of Year 10 students
were unable to go out from 31st May – 4th June due to
the snap lockdown. We are hoping that these students
may be able to re-negotiate with their employers to go
out in the coming school holidays.

This initiative gives students additional

students and to build the capability of other
teachers to improve the literacy and
numeracy of students at their school.
In 2021 Mrs Beddoe and Mrs Strybosch are
the Literacy Improvement Teachers and
Miss Morrissey and Ms Ebbs are the
Numeracy Improvement Teachers. More
than fifty students in Years 8 and 10 are
being supported in small groups in and
outside of the classroom to work on their
own literacy and numeracy goals.
Government funding for the initiative will
continue in 2022 where the focus will be on
students in Years 8, 9 and 10.

The BRAVE Program is based on Cognitive-Behavioural

years. Therapy techniques used in this program include:
relaxation training, identification of emotions and thoughts,
positive self-talk, coping skills, problem solving and graded
exposure.
The BRAVE Program was converted into a self-directed therapy
program (BRAVE Self-Help), which is now freely available to all
Australian young people, aged 8-17 years old and their
parents. The program is suitable for all types of anxiety. There
are four different programs available: One for children aged 8-

parents of children and teenagers of these age groups,
respectively.

− Try to create and stick to a routine. It’s common to feel
tired and unmotivated when you’re not in your usual
schedule, so it’s important to create a routine for your
sleep, meals, work, rest and exercise. If you are
working from home, take timeout and schedule regular
breaks to get fresh air and relax.
− Connect with family, friends, and colleagues. Humans
are social beings, so one of the hardest impacts of the
COVID-19 for you may have been the restrictions on
your social contact with people. If this is the case, make
the most of technology, whether it be the phone or
computer, to speak and/or see the important people in
your life on a regular basis.
− Make the most of any opportunities to communicate,
such as chatting over the back fence or balcony with a
neighbour, passing them biscuits you baked or lemons
from your tree; speaking to a passer-by as you weed
your front garden, or while out walking in your local
area; or asking the delivery person how they are as
they deliver a parcel.
− Spend time relaxing. Do the things you enjoy, whether
it be listening to music, reading, watching movies,
gardening, working on your family history, playing
games, or doing puzzles, craftwork or painting.
− Try to balance your negative thoughts with positive
ones, to focus on the present and try not to worry
about what you cannot control. Remember that
