| The College Salon during a practical lesson |
1.
I have two classes that I run a Year 11 (15-17 year olds) class
and a Year 12 (16-18 year olds) class we try and blend the two classes as we find the more
experienced students mentor the less experienced. When the students begin at the
college we find suitable salons for them and they attend Work Placement, where
if the student and employer are compatible the students begin a School Based
Apprenticeship. This is where the student attends College, Work and TAFE where
they acquire a Nationally Recognised Qualification at the completion of their Higher School
Certificate (School leaving certificate).
It's great to split the two classes of more experienced and less experienced something that we might think about this in our school in Sweden
ReplyDeleteWhen both groups come together and we are doing back stage or work events, we notice the students really mentoring each other and working as a team. Students work at different types of salons - eg suburban salons, city salons.
DeleteDo the students get to do a lot of events?
DeleteSeams like great organisation reguarding the work placement. To clarify, do the students do the apprenticeship at the school or at the workplace?
ReplyDeleteGood question Anna! Apprenticeships are undertaken at school (2/3 course), TAFE (another vocational provider) (1/3 course) and practical experience with their salon (workplace) one day a week.
DeleteSplendid! It takes a load of the work places.
DeleteIs it always the school that provide the students with the salons where they attend work Placement? If so how du you match every student with a special salon that suits them?
ReplyDeleteThis is a great method that we can implement in our school, I guess the older students learn by doing this way and perhaps the younger students get inspired by the older ones?
ReplyDeleteIs it difficult to find salons to students
