A group of Year 13 students recently spent the day visiting local businesses.

The day was designed to expose the students to the wide range of employment opportunities in our region. We are lucky to have such supportive businesses that are happy to host students and share their knowledge and experience with them. The students commented about how passionate they were all about their jobs. The employers all reiterated that when hiring staff, they look for people with a positive attitude and willingness to learn.

Thank you to Venture Timaru for organising the day for us, as part of their My Next Move initiative and a huge thank you to the following businesses and people for hosting us:

* Speights Ale House - Jane Bowen

* Heartland Chips - Charlotte Bowan

* Todd Mudie Group - Tig Payne
