Drummoyne Business Chamber is looking to recruit 100 businesses across the City of Canada Bay to support local school work experience programs in four high schools.

Each year, as part of the high school curriculum, over 500 high school students are required to complete a voluntary week of work experience or a voluntary work placement of up to 70 hours.

Drummoyne Business Chamber has established a work experience program in partnership with Council and four local high schools: Concord High, Rosebank College, Domremy College and The McDonald College.

We invite local businesses across the City of Canada Bay to get involved in this new initiative with great benefits for both students and business. Sign up to this program and help give high school students the opportunity and experience to step into the real world, inform their future work choices and develop skills to become job ready.

Register for one or more of the following opportunities for high school students:

* Work Experience (up to one week – not paid)

* Year 11 Vocational Work Placement (up to 35 hours of work – not paid)

* Year 12 Vocational Work Placement (up to 35 hours of work not paid)

* Casual Work (paid and unlimited)

Why should you get involved?

• You will be provided with a “stamp of participation” that you can use to promote your business

Chiropractic centre, providing assistance to help you and your family, restore yourselves to your best 'Neutral Posture' naturally. Here at Lyons Road experienced Dr's Paul Calladine & John Kyneur both chiropractors and office manager Nicole Mozes (who also provides Energy work sessions). This centre provides full spine check-ups and has a full spine digital x-ray machine onsite. Chiropractors graduate with the skills to take the x-rays and interpret the results, allowing for a seamless service for you and your family. Our newest patients are twins girls 10 weeks old who were squishing each other inside their mother. After a gentle examination, they both required different massages and specific adjustments. Their mother watches as her smaller daughter relaxed in front of her eyes like a budding flower. The baby then slept better through the night instead of waking every 2 hours and digested her food better. Other patients include families that want to keep on top of their health :)
