Well what a hectic past couple of weeks. Safe to say I am exhausted... but loving my new role as KEFL Co-ordinator. Placements of students in school based traineeships has been a little difficult this year - due to the size of the year 11 group. However, KGT and myself have placed nearly everyone, we are just waiting on paperwork and some correspondence. A big thank-you to Natasha Cross and the KGT gang for all their hard work with these placements.
A big welcome and thank you to the new companies taking on our wonderful Year 11 Trainee's. These include: Save the Children, Ewin Centre, Community Resource Centre, Tourist Centre, Small Business Centre, Kununurra Toyota, Top End Building, Top End Motors, IBAC, Kimberley Kool and David Head (Tangles). The blog has added a new element of exposure for the program with MG, The CO-Op and other businesses being interested in learning more and potentially taking on some trainees.
We have had our first Outdoor Education session with MAKA at the pool - learning to use the canoe's and kayaks - and practising a few rescues. Next week we will have our first expedition from Swim Beach. KEFL students have also been busy training for their Bronze Medallion course scheduled for the end of Week 8.
Half the group starts Horse Riding and Horse Care next week with Kris Thomas at YEEHAA! Towards the end of the term students will be completing their Senior First Aid Course, welding course and occupational health and safety modules with Michael from KTI, ready for our first trip out to Gibb River Station (Week 10). Myself, Mr Baker and Michael may be chartering a plane to visit Gibb Station towards the end of term.
Parent Evening is scheduled for Thursday 27th March - and students have been asked to invite their parents or guardians in to show them all the good work that is happening in KEFL.
That is all from me for now... if your require any further information please don't hesitate to call me on 08 91684400.
TAudas!
