BEERWAH State High School students and staff welcomed dozens of local business owners to their 2024 Industry Breakfast to recognise the success stories of students and thank employers for their support.
School principal, Lyn Thomas, thanked employers who had helped BSHS students undertake everything from work experience to traineeships and career development programs.
Lyn said the school was able to report on a number of success stories including students who had connected with employers for work experience and gone on to traineeships and higher study.
“We know that so many of you support our students by hosting structured workplace learning,” Lyn said. One student, Jackson, had secured a nursing traineeship, was aiming to pursue medicine and has been nominated for school-based trainee of the year at the 2024 Queensland Training Awards.
“We’re very passionate about providing young people with as many opportunities to promote careers and personal growth,” she said. “Our schools, families and wider community all want the same thing: meaningful pathways and opportunities for young people.
“Thank you for your ongoing support and looking after our kids, we as a school can’t do this without you.”
