Work Experience

We have had two lads from Sydney Tech this week working with us, Suvra and Jeffrey. They have done a few different things and gotten out and about.

A few words from the boys:
Jeffrey : This week we did a lot of things such as scan books, stack books, move books into boxes, help the little kids at summerhill community centre, and then we helped with the setup of a harmony day concert. yes indeed it was a great week i would for sure definitely recommend this to anyone for work experience and, a little bit, of hard...work. yes thats right this place is no bludge this is full of hard work, **edit**. it has been a great week (Y) =]
Suvra: This week at work experience we met alot friendly faces who made us do countless task over the week. My favourite was getting the old books and recycling them **edit**. We were playing basketball with the books. However packing reference books into boxes then palcing them in the foyer was quite boring and repetitive but it was worth it because there would be nothing else to do. It was "definately" fun watching little kids being entertained. But overall I would recommend this job to anyone looking to do work experience.

Madeline and Milia

I would like to welcome Madeline and Milia to the Ashfield (they are here every day for a week the poor things) for their work experience. You can check out what they are getting upto this week on their blogs. Madeline's Blog and Milia's Blog.

You can leave messages or comments on their blogs.

If you think you may one day like to work in a Library, check out the Workplace Learning Blog and see how you can do work experience here at the Ashfield Library with us.

Workplace Learning aka. Work Experience

In case you didn't know Ashfield Library provides work experience to high school students through the Workplace Learning Program.

Workplace learning programs are part of the NSW secondary school curriculum. The programs encourage young people to gain practical experience of workplaces and learn industry and workplace skills as part of their studies.

This Blog provides information about work experience opportunities that the Ashfield Library offer. Please read through the posts and have a look at the Reflection Blogs as well.

The Library tries to make the workload as varied and interesting as possible. Students will be required to follow as schedule set down by the library which can contain activities such as helping with kids craft activities, Storytime or Tiny tots's sessions, working with the Housebound service, an introduction to the online library, as well as shelving and circulation duties.

Each student will keep a Workplace Learning Reflections Blog, in which a daily reflection on will be added.
