Cobar High School held an Employment & Community Services Expo at the school yesterday with 30 exhibitors from a wide variety of career (and volunteer) vocations taking part. Staff from local businesses, Cobar Shire Council, mining companies, Tradies, the Commonwealth Bank, TAFE, the University of Sydney, Australian Defence Force, the Royal Flying Doctor Service, emergency services, childcare services and the agriculture industry were joined by volunteers from local community services to talk to students about their future pathways. A number of exhibitors were ex-Cobar High School students including Occupational Therapist (OT), Nicola Harbison (a Year 12 graduate from 2012), pictured in main photo above. Nicola offered a number of interactive activities to students to demonstrate how she assesses movement and fine motor skills. She also offered some challenges which gave students an insight into what it’s like to have a disability and how an OT can be of help.
