Students' Experiences
Work Experience: An Inspiration ~ by Billy Brown, Year 11 2015
I was fortunate to do my work placement in 2014 at Mini Beasts, a sort of sanctuary for little creatures that although can be deadly, also have a beauty about them.
Some of my experiences involved caring for them and their habitat, learning about what makes these fascinating creatures “tick” and the intricate role they play in the earth’s ECOSYSTEM.
Another was to learn how to photograph them in such a way that transforms them into a thing of beauty. It was while doing this I discovered that not only was it fun, but I had a genuine interest in and talent for photography.
As a result, I was clear about my future career pathway and the subjects I needed to pick for my HSC in order to pursue my passion and help me achieve my goals.
I am now studying Photography at school and Design Fundamentals at TAFE.
Since my work experience I have devised a way to photograph as many unique little creatures as possible at home. Who knows what else lies around the corner in terms of exhibiting or marketing my work? Perhaps a course in Business / Marketing / Advertising as well!
