Year 12 Student Cooper Moreta and Work Experience

Cooper participated in the work experience Air Force Familiarisation course conducted at RAAF Amberley

in Queensland. This placement had an incredibly high amount of applicants and Cooper should be

justifiably proud of being accepted.

I asked Cooper a number of questions about his air force work experience:

1. What did you learn?

Work experience really opened my eyes about what I really want to do after I leave school. I learnt there

are more jobs in the air force than just simply flying planes.

2. What was your daily routine?

8:00 am-Arrived at the base and we had a

morning briefing.

8:30-3:30- Involved in the following activities:

Visited the FA 18 Hornet

Visited the C17 Globe Master

Dog squad activity

Missile technician

Bomb squad

Visited the KC 30

Thank you for your time Cooper.

Mark O’Brien

Relieving Careers Adviser

Congratulations Vivien Partridge on your

successful application for work experience

at Taronga Zoo in the Wildlife Hospital

Division. We will be keen to hear about

your experience in February.

3. How did you find out about this work

experience opportunity?

I read my school emails and I follow the Wauchope

High School Careers Facebook Page. Mr O’Brien

posts a lot of career information and it is a matter of

keeping up to date and acting upon the information

communicated.

GRIP Student Leadership Conference

Last Wednesday 19 student leaders from Wauchope High travelled to Southern Cross

University in Coffs Harbour to attend a GRIP Leadership Conference. The motivated

presenters guided students through a series of sessions ranging from: setting leadership

priorities and creating positive partnerships to creating engaging speeches and leading

exciting events.

The Wauchope High students were outstanding ambassadors for our school. They made

valuable contributions in all sessions and have many great ideas to pursue next year.

What does GRIP stand for?

GENEROSITY Willingness to use what you have been given (time and resources) on behalf of those you seek to influence. RESPONSIBILITY We all have a responsibility to develop what we have and help others to live well. INTEGRITY A commitment to truth and honesty in dealings. PEOPLE Every human being is of great significance, and has a purpose to fulfill.
