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. These experiences provided valuable insight into the practical skills, teamwork, problem-solving and customer service required in the IT industry.In his own reflection, Kyan described the experience as a wonderful opportunity to learn new skills and explore his future career pathway. He expressed gratitude to the New Future IT team, particularly Zeke and Tristian, for their guidance and support throughout the week.👏 Congratulations, Kyan! Your willingness to learn, enthusiasm and engagement throughout your placement are a great example of how workplace learning can help students build confidence, develop practical skills and explore future career opportunities.A big thank you to New Future IT for welcoming Kyan and providing him with this valuable industry experience, and to Mr William Ndwandwe for supporting students through the Workplace Practices subject. #everypersoneveryopportunity #teamKHS #KatherineHighSchool
