Learning Beyond the Classroom

At Our Lady of Mercy College, we believe that learning extends far beyond the classroom walls. Through our Workplace Learning Program, students are gaining invaluable real-world experience, exploring career pathways and developing industry-specific skills that will shape their futures.

Recently, our Career Services Team visited students on their placements and saw them thriving in a range of industries:

• Cassie at St Michael’s Catholic Primary School, engaging with young learners and supporting classroom activities.

• Layla at Black Diamond Nail Bar, learning the art and professionalism of beauty therapy.

• Kate at Terry White Chemmart, completing a School-based Traineeship and gaining hands-on experience in pharmacy services.

• Jedd, Aleah, and Georgina at St Brigid’s Primary School, contributing to a vibrant learning environment.

• Lewis and Joshua at Swan Transit, developing engineering, electrical and fabrication/welding skills.

• Lucas at Aspire Physiotherapy, gaining insight into allied health and rehabilitation practices.

• Cassidy at Goodstart Early Learning Centre, building skills in childcare and early childhood education.

• Layla at True Revolution Automotive, learning automotive mechanic skills and hands-on vehicle servicing.

These opportunities are shaping career decisions and giving students a real taste of working life. Thank you to our industry partners for supporting the next generation of professionals.
