Work Experience (WEX)
Volunteer or paid Work Experience is required for Graduation and students who need assistance in finding the required 30-hour placement should contact the WEX Advisor, Mrs. Lafreniere. However, some students may opt for more WEX hours to help them determine career paths. So, students may choose to enroll in a 4-credit course that requires 100 hours of job/career related experience(s), and these are completed outside of the students' regular timetable. Students may access career education, training, and placements with community-based employers by contacting Mrs. LaFreniere. These WEX placements are entirely student-driven, which means that students need to take the initiative to request a placement. Placements are based on student preference including type of work; location; and schedule. For more complete information on WEX, email the WEX Advisor for an appointment:
- Mrs. La Freniere - carlene_lafreniere@sd33.bc.ca
- Mr. Ryk Piche (Trades) - ryk_piche@sd33.bc.ca
- Ms. Clarke (Lead Teacher) - beth_clarke@sd33.bc.ca
