Year 10 student Eli wanted to know more about what a career in butchery is like, so with the help of his Newcomb Secondary Head Start Coordinator Glenn Robertson, he approached well respected Highton butchers What's For Dinner to ask for some work experience.

After a chat with ‘Alan the Butcher’ and some signatures on the very important Work Experience paperwork, Eli got to spend 5 days working behind the counter in the butcher shop.

Eli is pictured making sausages with "Snags" aka Nick on one of his placement days. If you would like to participate in work-based learning at Newcomb Secondary College please get in contact with Careers and Pathways Coordinator Megan Fell whose office is located in the Language Centre, or email megan.fell@education.vic.gov.au

Many thanks to What's For Dinner in Highton for giving Eli a hands-on butchery experience!
