The school was still able to offer its WIN program, which focuses on preparing students for careers and the workplace.

While it was able to go ahead, the program did have to be held in a reduced capacity, according to careers adviser Nadine Goring.

"Due to COVID-19, we were greatly restricted and only a small number of year 10 students were able to participate in the program during term three," she said.

The program, which is facilitated in conjunction with GetSet, is a workplace learning program aimed at students who may not wish to take up tertiary studies at the completion of their schooling.

It especially targets students who want to acquire a trade, work in retail, hospitality, childcare or similar areas.

"An enormous thanks to all of the businesses who supported the program again this year, especially considering the troubling years businesses have endured," Ms Goring said.

"Their investment in workplace learning in our community is truly appreciated."
