Year 11 Mock Interviews 🎤💼
Earlier this term Whyalla Secondary College hosted The Smith Family and members of the local community, who conducted mock interviews with our year 11 students. These interviews were a fantastic opportunity for students to build confidence, develop their interpersonal skills, and reflect on their strengths in preparation for real-world job interviews. They also provided valuable evidence for course assessments.
A big thank you to The Smith Family and community members who generously gave their time to support our students. Your involvement makes a real difference. Also a huge well done to our year 11 students for their professionalism, enthusiasm and willingness to step outside their comfort zones!
