Students Say "Tanks" For Watering Solution
STUDENTS and donors enjoyed a garden party at Clarkson Community High School after the recent delivery of a water tank. Butler firefighters filled the tank, donated by Bunnings, with water after it arrived on Monday, November 7.

Well done to the Year 12s!
By John Keyworth, Head of Technology
In the past there have been a fair few negative comments made about Clarkson Community High School and the students who attend here, but today I am very proud to say that, once again, our students have proved the naysayers wrong.

Why I Joined VET
By Lucy Pound
In 2010 I joined VET because I wanted to get into the tourism industry. I went to TAFE and worked towards gaining a Certificate II in Tourism. I worked in travel agents and undertook office duties whilst learning about how a travel agency operated. At the end of the year once I had finished my certificate, I made the decision to move to business where I completed my Certificate I in Business Services.
My VET Experience
By Lisa Hughes
The first time I had thought about joining VET was in Year 10. It came about after helping in Student Services at school regularly. After a while, I gained the trust of staff and they gave me a variety of jobs to do for the school in the office.
My VET Business Course Experience
By Lynna Cheng
Prior to joining VET Business in Year 11, I had no work experience and I had no clue as to what I wanted to do when I finished school. Thanks to VET I have gained a lot of knowledge and understanding of the workplace and also accessed jobs through work experience, which included receptionist at Professional North Shore and then sales assistant at Guardian Pharmacy. VET has really guided me to get an idea of what I want to do.
My Transition from School to Work
By Saleem Yusifi
I commenced my trainee-ship with Reece Plumbing in Year 11. When I first signed up for the trainee ship I thought Reece was an actual plumbing firm. Although the trainee-ship was explained to me, I wondered if I would get sent out to work as a plumber. I soon realised it was a plumbing store, which provided plumbing supplies.
