Once the internship has been completed, students will submit a 2000 word final report summarising what has been done, what has been learned, and what if any career implications the work has had for them.Final reports must be completed by the final day of term two (but may be submitted earlier, and should be submitted earlier by students doing their other half unit option in term two). Mentors will be asked to provide an assessment of the intern’s work as well.
