Cluster
Navigate

of work

Interact

others

Get the
work done

Specific aspects I want to develop and

strategies
Manage career and work life Have a work life balance. Have some fun after
school activities. I want to develop an exercise
routine organise my free time more
effectively bike ride regularly to make me
fitter and to help reduce stress.
Work with roles, rights and
Before coaching at Brenda Primary School I
listened to the advice of Mr Stephens I listened
protocols
to the rights, rules and protocols of working
with children. These included; making sure the
kids are sitting in the shade and not looking in
the sun when we are giving them instructions,
not swearing, being punctual, wearing our PE
uniform and immediately reporting any
accidents to teaching staff as they have the
duty of care.
Communicate for work

The skills learnt by doing speeches at school

(public speaking) can transfer to help me at
work; to have the confidence to speak up at
meetings, to present an idea to colleagues, or
to teach a new employee a skill I know.

Connect and work with

others

In my Certificate 2 coaching theory class, I

work well in a team to brainstorm and devise
appropriate soccer lessons for year 1 students
at Brenda Primary School.

Recognise and utilise

diverse perspectives

Recognise and utilise diverse perspectives

To increase my ability to think about things in
new ways. I will engage in more conversations
with other students at Willetton SHS who were
born overseas and have different traditions as
this may help me to see a different
perspective. Additionally I can utilise the
perspectives of Indigenous Australians by
looking up the Australian Sports Commission,
which list some games suitable for Kto3 based
on traditional
aboriginal games. I could utilise these as warm
up activities when teaching the children soccer
at Brenda Primary School.
I need to start assignments early and learn to
prioritise all the schoolwork according to its
due date. Another strategy to assist in my
planning is to use a diary or a study planner so
I can check off each piece of work as I

Plan and organise

complete it. This will give me a sense of

accomplishment and I wont always feel
overwhelmed by the amount of work due.
Make decisions

Focus on one task at a time. Make a list of

pros and cons to help clarify the decision
making process. Discuss the decision to be
made with another person Eg.
Parent/colleagues. So as to get a second
opinion on the matter.

Identify and solve problems

Firstly I would clarify what the problem is.

Secondly I would think of alternate solutions.
Finally I would implement the most effective
solution.

Create and innovate

Participating in Willetton Senior High schools

rigorous music program has given me
opportunities to compose music pieces. In
Jazz band we got the opportunity to do
improvisation.

Work in a digital world

I am proficient in using Mac and PC and have

knowledge of programs such as Microsoft
Excel and PowerPoint as well as online tools
such as Skype. Skype is extremely helpful for
long distance business calls. While having
knowledge of Power Point is great because I
am able to present ideas to a work team
efficiently. Excel is useful in workplaces that
require a lot of data to be organised. All these
skills have helped me adapt to a digital world
and work environment.
