Careers
We hope this year will be a happy, healthy and productive one, especially for our students in Year 12.
The Careers Newsletters are written for students in Years 10, 11 and 12 (and their parents) to inform our community about events and activities which may assist with planning a direction post secondary school. Our aim is that the content may encourage thinking about the future, assist with making informed decisions and provide help with career and course research.
Although Year 12 is a very busy year academically and socially, time needs also to be found for thinking about the future. Career News is one way of prompting these thoughts.
Students in Years 10 and 11 will also make big decisions about subjects they will choose for the following year, and this in turn opens up or shuts down particular pathways. It is important that these decisions and choices are made thoughtfully and after conducting appropriate career research. Again, items in these newsletters may assist with this research.
The Careers Centre is located in B21. Ms Gibbs and Mrs Borg are available to help students with their career research and to talk about options for the future. Students are welcome to visit us in B21 or telephone us on 9333 1866 or email concerns or queries to careers@aitkencollege.edu.au. Parents are also welcome to get in touch.
Good luck to all our students for a fulfilling and productive 2019.
