Katherine High School is proud to recognise Kyan Brock, a Year 10 student, who recently completed an exciting and valuable work placement with New Future IT in Katherine as part of his Workplace Practices subject under the guidance of his teacher, Mr William Ndwandwe.During his placement, Kyan gained hands-on experience in the information technology industry, working alongside experienced technicians and participating in a range of real-world tasks. These included setting up laptops, troubleshooting and servicing printers, installing Windows 11, configuring wireless access points, setting up devices for schools and community organisations, and learning how to construct and repair Ethernet cables.Kyan also had the opportunity to visit workplaces and community facilities across the region, including Pine Creek, where he assisted with technology support and helped set up devices for students.

He expressed gratitude to the New Future IT team, particularly Zeke and Tristian, for their guidance and support throughout the week.👏 Congratulations, Kyan!
