For Students

The Pine Rivers Neighbourhood Centre considers itself to be a learning ground for many and therefore encourages and welcomes students on placement. We take our commitment to students seriously, prioritising their learning and development, and therefore are unable to take on a large number of students each year.

Enquiries or requests for student placement can be directed to the Director or Focus Area Managers. In making our decision we will consider the following:
• Manageability of the placement in terms of present staff workload
• Availablity of physical space for the student
• Back-up support given by the university or college
• Identified projects and/or work opportunities available within the centre
• Availability of appropriately qualified supervisor
• Length of the placement
• How far into the qualification the student has progressed, generally students in their second or third year of study are preferred
