This Term, LJBC Year 9 students have had the opportunity to participate in the TAFE Career Taster experiences.

The Taster Experiences included Fashion and Letterpress, with students designing, creating, and screen printing an eye-catching take-home tote bag. In Beauty, students learned about the industry and completed a manicure. Barbering gave students the chance to learn various techniques and even practise them on a mannequin. In 'The Reel Thing – there's no business like show business,' students experienced working in a live TV studio. And in 'That's Getting Technical,' they explored a suite of integrated technologies, including robotics, coding, cybersecurity, and 3D printing.

A standout was during The Reel Thing Career Taster, where LJBC students shone bright while leading and directing group work during the production of a games show - Spicks and Specks style. Showing kindness, patience and including others as they all took turns in each role (while working with another school) - Director, teleprompter, floor manager, vision mixer, graphics, audio and tapes.
