MYFS have had a number of amazing students on board this year. One of these students is Kim. Kim goes to a local school and has been busy doing work experience with MYFS. Kim has assisted us to work on the City of Monash Action Plan for Young People 2009-2012 by reviewing MYFS website, not only did she review the website, she convinced her whole class to review it for us too. It was great to have all their input, so thanks Kim and a big thanks to your teacher and the VCAL class of 2010.

My pink computer is called a Vmax. It’s a voice device, I can talk and text with my Vmax. I can also go on the internet, save my school work and change channels on the TV. I can also nag my dad – that’s how I got a dog.

We did some careers testing and Marian, my teacher found me a placement at MYFS. My placement is part of the Learn About Work program at Glenallen School.

Tell us how you feel about helping the City of Monash to implement their Action Plan for Young People?

It was good to help and great to have people listen to my ideas.
