Katanning Senior High School held a community forum last night addressing School Based Traineeships.
A long-term local resident said that the forum was the best attended in the last nine years at the school, with approximately 59 attendees. This highlights the importance the community places on providing students with a pathway linking courses of study and the workplace.
Mrs Griffiths, Principal, who hosted the forum said the Year 12 Destination and Australian Bureau of Statistics data endorsed the push to provide students access to industry through the School Based Traineeship scheme.
‘The forum confirmed the backing of the strategic direction taken with new initiatives such as Work Studies in Year 10 seen as positive with 89% of survey respondents endorsing the program’, she said.
Love this!! Well done KSHS.
