Work Experience Work experience is organised for students in Years 10, 11 and 12 at Yeppoon State High School. Work experience allows students to gain experience or knowledge in a variety or work situations to help them in future career choices.  Experience in the workplace is invaluable in building confidence, self-esteem, discipline and team work.  

School-Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SATs)

Yeppoon State High School offers students in Years 11 and 12 the unique opportunity to make an early start on their chosen careers.  Senior Schooling staff help students with information about opportunities as well assisting students with applications for these positions.  Traineeships and Apprenticeships involve paid work as well as off the job training towards a recognised qualification that will contribute to the Queensland Certificate of Education and appear on their Senior Statement.  In many cases school-based traineeships and apprenticeships lead to post-school job prospects.  Previous students have successfully completed school-based apprenticeships/traineeships in the areas of automotive, engineering, hairdressing, allied health, aged care, disability services, electrical, business administration, retail, horticulture.  Students interested in a school based apprenticeship/traineeship are encouraged to see the staff located within the Capricorn Coast Trade Training Centre.  Positions vacant are advertised on the daily student notices every week.  

Unique Student Identifier (USI)

All students studying a VET certificate must have a Unique Student Identifier (USI) before a statement of attainment or qualification can be awarded. Students need to apply for their USI at usi.gov.au and give a copy of this number to the HOD – Senior Schooling for recording.

Complaints and Appeals

The school, as an RTO, has a complaints and appeals policy specific to its RTO operations.

A complaint can be made to the school RTO regarding the conduct of:

• students of the RTO
• any third parties providing services on behalf of the school RTO (if relevant).

An appeal can be made to the school RTO to request a review of a decision, including assessment decisions.

The school RTO will ensure that the principles of natural justice and procedural fairness are adopted at every stage of the complaints and appeals process. All formal complaints and appeals will be heard and decided on within 60 calendar days of receiving the written complaint or appeal.
