Year 10 Careers Booklet
Earlier this week, I spoke to all Year 10 students about the range of decisions and choices to be made during Year 10 and the resources available to help both them and their parents with these.
After the presentation all year 10 received a 2019 Year 10 Careers Booklet which I encourage parents and guardians to look at and then discuss options with their child.
A PDF copy will be emailed to Year 10 parents on Monday 27 May.
Students registered and checked out resources on Job Jump. This resource is also available to every McCarthy parent regardless of the year in which their child is enrolled. McCarthy students and parents can access career and course information plus a whole lot more through this website.
A quick 2 minute video providing an overview is here:
