Testimonials
-
“As a teacher-librarian and home group teacher of some 30 years’ experience
I was really impressed by both the content and lay-out of the mag, so well done.
On just 5 minutes look-see at Equipd our PLP teachers were in raptures.
“Wow, there are loads of readymade PLP lessons and information in this mag
– how much did it cost!” was one comment.
The fact that there are worksheets in the magazine is a great feature, and being free the students can take them home and have to look at again and again over time, as there are a multitude of topics covered.
Equipd is also very “teenage friendly” with its racy design; use of websites and apps and even shows students what to wear to different job scenarios. Great to see that the advertisements are relevant to the career theme, and these will stimulate our students to perhaps look even broader than they now do.”
— Kay Haarsma, Salisbury East High School -
“Would it be possible please to get a couple of copies of the EQUIPD 2011.
I am working with some Yr 10 students here in Mildura who are transitioning at
the moment and South Australia is an option for a couple of them.”
— Kirsty Cameron, Youth Worker,Chaffey Secondary College -
“The magazine has captured the attention of students. The articles regarding
how to dress for work experience is great as this is something that needs to be in
visual form and it gets the point across well.
Also very topical as a lot of schools are preparing students for work experience/PLP at the moment. The general layout is colorful, appealing and easy to flick through which is what most young people like.
I used it as a reference for Year 12 Workplace Practices as we were discussing the labour market. I told the students that they would not be able to keep the magazine - they were taking photos of pages with their phones to keep for reference!. ”
