Student Placement and
Work Experience
Join a supportive learning environment
Student Placements at SCHS provide students from a broad range of disciplines with the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the principles and practices required in providing a range of community health services in a rural setting.
SCHS also takes a number Work Experience students each year from the secondary schools in the district, with an aim of offering insight into the many varied professional opportunities in the health industry.
How to apply
SCHS receives a high number of requests for student placements and work experience each year. Each application is considered on whether the Service can offer the student a placement that is appropriate to their course learning, the capacity of the Service to make the placement worthwhile for the student, and the commitment of time of the supervising staff.
