SIDE’s Career Department was thrilled that we could take our highly successful Mini Industry Roadshow (MiR) to Exmouth in the Pilbara region. SIDE was able to provide authentic first-hand learning experiences to students from Exmouth District High School.
Exmouth District High School is in the wonderfully welcoming coastal town of Exmouth, which is brimming with spectacular scenery including Cape Range National Park and the World Heritage Listed Ningaloo Marine Park.
The Roadshow delivered a series of hands-on experiences with interactive and invaluable career skills learning for students in the industry areas of carpentry, electrical engineering, and hospitality by our exceptional presenters.
Bonnie Blewitt introduced students to the enormous potential of the hospitality industry. Students engaged in high paced, fun, and exciting activities simulating a busy cafe environment as well as learnt how to use important customer service skills in a professional manner.
Students explored carpentry and cabinet making from Cabinetry in Schools presenter Nathan Kell. The students not only crafted tangible items but also developed an appreciation for the artistry behind creating functional and aesthetically pleasing pieces.
Blake Chase excited and impressed students with the amazing world of electrical engineering and it’s practical uses in the high-risk worlds of motor sports and sky diving. Students developed practical skills in connecting and correcting circuit boards as well as powering their own mini devices.
The Mini Industry Roadshow experience from SIDE supported the students of Exmouth DHS in developing their employable skills and gave the students an authentic insight into the day to day working conditions of these industries.
Thank you to Exmouth District School for a terrific day and welcoming us to your school.
