Careers
Welcome to all our Brookhill students and their parents for 2020. We are hoping this year will be healthy, productive and positive for our students, with lots of excellent career research being undertaken.
The Careers Newsletters are written for students in Years 10, 11 and 12 (and their parents) to provide our Aitken community with information about courses and careers and news about activities and events which may assist students with planning a direction post secondary school. We hope items in this newsletter will encourage students to talk about their future plans, assist with them making informed decisions and prompt the undertaking of course and career research.
Although Year 12 is a very busy year, academically and socially, it is important to also make time to look to the future to a time beyond Aitken and for some planning to take place to help dreams come to fruition. We hope Career News will be useful in this regard.
Later this year, students in Year 10 and Year 11 will make big decisions about the program and 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 room 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 9100 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 2020.
