GHD is a global professional services company operating in the global markets of water, energy and resources, environment, property and buildings, and transportation. GHD’s STEM Pathways Program was launched in 2017 and in partnership with North East Water was held in 乐播传媒视频 for the first time last year. The aim of the program is to encourage female students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Grace, Claire, Mary and Sarah were able to explore opportunities in STEM fields through workshops, seminars, and real-world challenges, introducing them to cutting-edge technologies and sustainable solutions. They visited two VR sites and evaluated the use of Artificial Intelligence in finding solutions for the issues identified. They developed practical skills in science and engineering while also gaining insight into the challenges faced by regional communities like 乐播传媒视频. They also explored how STEM innovations, particularly in environmental sustainability and infrastructure, can positively impact their local community.

On the last day of the program, Grace, Claire and Mary presented what they had learned from their experiences to an audience at the North East Water wastewater treatment plant. This final presentation allowed them to showcase their knowledge and participate in a 乐播传媒视频榪uestion-answer乐播传媒视频� session with their 乐播传媒视频榚xpert乐播传媒视频� audience. The WSSC students impressed the facilitators of this excellent experience.

As we are about to commence term 4, it is essential that we convey some important information to parents/guardians of Year 12 students.

The end of the Year 12 academic year is fast approaching and we wish to farewell the students in a way that recognises their efforts appropriately. The following is information pertaining to VCE exams, the last days of class and the Valedictory Presentation Ceremony.

WSSC has arranged a celebration get together beginning at 9am. We will provide breakfast, music and activities. Students will have the opportunity to run an informal year 12 ceremony. This will occur at the flagpole area between the main building and the trade training centre. Year 12 students will have access to this area only.
This will conclude with a formal whole school assembly at the flag poles at 10.35am. After which Year 10 and 11 students will form a 乐播传媒视频済uard of honour乐播传媒视频� as the Year 12乐播传媒视频檚 are farewelled out of the school by Mr Hilditch and Mr Whitehead. Parents are invited to see the students out the gate for the final time.

While it is a time for celebration at the conclusion of your child乐播传媒视频檚 studies prior to their examinations, we would like to take this opportunity to reinforce the College乐播传媒视频檚 expectations regarding behaviour and conduct on these days. Students are reminded that all normal school expectations and policies need to be adhered to. These can be viewed on the College website.
Any student who does not adhere to clearly defined College behaviour policies, or fails to follow the directions of any staff member during the day, will be asked to leave the school grounds immediately and may incur further consequences, such as:

1. Being excluded from the Year 12 Valedictory Ceremony.
2. Having to sit the exams in a venue other than WSSC.

Their first stop was William Adams a renowned product support and supplier for Caterpillar equipment. The students were given a guided tour of their facility located in Clayton, where they witnessed firsthand the career options that are available in an organisation like William Adams. They learned about Apprenticeship programs, site safety and the latest technologies and innovations being used in the industry.

The second stop on the field trip was PACCAR in Bayswater. On this site they engineer and assemble Kenworth and DAF trucks. Here, the students observed a highly efficient and quality controlled 乐播传媒视频渏ust-in-time乐播传媒视频� assembly line. They gained valuable insights into the skills and knowledge that go into engineering and building such and iconic vehicle.
Thank you to the team at William Adams and PACCAR for hosting our students.

The field trip proved to be a long day, but the feedback from students suggests that it was a valuable experience, providing them with a glimpse into some of career paths available in the automotive sector.
