Meet Rachael:
Rachael is a Year 12 Education Support School-Based Trainee. She works as an Administration Assistant for Alphacrucis and a trainee Support Worker for her school.
What is the most rewarding part about being a school-based trainee?
“It’s a unique pathway that allows students to experience a professional work environment (including pay, structure and workload) while studying other areas of interest as a student, allowing us to expand our aspirations and passions. We learn and adapt to situations that we would not expect and undergo until we are out of school”
What have you learned from your experience working in a classroom?
“This experience has taught me greatly about responsibility and managing workload as a student and within the work place. I have learned more patience and understanding by working with children”
