School to work opportunities

Work experience or structured workplace learning is offered widely to students in Years 10, 11 and 12 at Smithfield State High School. This regularly results in our students being offered an opportunity for a School-based Apprenticeship or Traineeship (SAT).

All School-based Apprentices or Trainees must continue to meet the requirements of the Student Code of Conduct and strive for continual improvement in education. This is achieved through regular mentoring and support from all staff.

Prior to a student's signing into a contract to commence a School-based Apprenticeship or Traineeship, lengthy discussions are held regarding employment and training pathways and the benefits in relation to the Queensland Certificate of Education. All students achieving a School-based Apprenticeship or Traineeship are referred to the Vocational Education Coordinator.

Students are encouraged to have regular contact with the Vocational Education Coordinator to discuss employment opportunities, Student Education Training (SET) Plan goals and certificate courses available.

Parents are welcome to contact the Vocational Education Coordinator to discuss opportunities available for their student.

We also suggest you review the information contained in the following websites:

The school, as a Registered Training Organisation (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:

the school RTO, its trainers, assessors or other school RTO staff
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.

If the school RTO considers more than 60 calendar days are required to process and finalise the complaint or appeal, the complainant or appellant will be informed of the reasons in writing and will be regularly updated on the progress of the matter.

If the processes fail to resolve the complaint or appeal, a review by an independent party will be provided if requested.

Complaints or appeals should be directed to the Principal as CEO of the school RTO: Principal@smithfieldshs.eq.edu.au
