Our Year 9 Activate students received their first task, a portfolio of evidence and tasks, this week.  Students will upload evidence of their work in Activate to achieve success.  Currently, students are completing their resume and cover letter, which is one of the tasks that they will upload as evidence.  We encourage our students to use these resumes and cover letters in their pursuit of casual or part time work this year or in the future.  Many of our Year 9 students last year successfully used their resumes and cover letters to gain casual work in a wide variety of jobs in our local area.

Please keep track of what students are learning in Activate via One Note and contact your student's teacher if you have any questions.

Thank you to the parents who have contacted me to offer their time and expertise in the future.  We are working through these and will get back to you in the next couple of weeks to discuss your generous offer of assistance.  If there are other people who would like to assist by being mentors, talking to students, judging our Future Anything proposals next term or anything else, we would love to hear from you.  Please let me know via email at dgodd2@eq.edu.au if you are able to assist or want to find out anything else.
