Careers Update
Elisabeth Murdoch College
The Department of Education has partnered with the Australian Centre for Career Education for another year to offer all Year 9 students access to the My Career Insights program, which includes the use of the Morrisby Profiling Tool. This valuable program is designed to help students:
- Discover the skills and abilities they can bring to a job.
- Explore career options that align with their abilities, interests, and personality.
- Learn which subjects they need to pursue their desired careers.
As part of this program, Year 9 students will:
Complete Online Questions & Quizzes:
Students will complete this on the Morrisby website during sessions 1 & 2 on Wednesday, 16th October.
Receive a Personalized Report:
After completing the assessments, your child will receive a Morrisby Profile Report. This report will highlight their strengths and interests and suggest possible career and study options.
Have a Career Advisor Meeting:
Your child will have a 30-minute meeting with a Morrisby-trained professional Careers Practitioner, who will explain the report and help them understand their potential career pathways. These meetings will be scheduled between Monday 28th of October and Friday 1st of November.
Parents can attend this appointment with their student however, this must be arranged with the college in advance.
Consent is required for your student to participate in this event – an event will appear on your student Compass to approve.
Please contact a member of the Careers Team if you have any questions.
Creative Entrepreneur Canvas on 30 September, invites students to explore creativity for commercial success. Led by successful entrepreneur Natasa Pitra Brbic, students will learn how to refine a business idea and develop a plan for success.
They will discover how creativity can drive innovation and unlock new opportunities in the business world.
On 1 October, we invite students to unleash their inner artist at the Imagine That workshop—a full day dedicated to visual arts exploration and self-expression.
Students will engage in collaborative drawing sessions, connect with fellow creatives and work together to create a vibrant masterpiece that reflects their unique style.

Quantum Computing: the future of super-fast computers
Have you ever wondered what the future of computers looks like? It’s all about quantum computing. Imagine computers that can quickly solve the problems that would take today’s supercomputers thousands of years. Sounds cool, right? Let’s dive into the world of quantum computing and see what all the buzz is about.
What is quantum computing?
Quantum computing is like traditional computing but on steroids. Traditional computers use bits, which are like tiny switches that can be either 0 or 1. Quantum computers use qubits, which can be both 0 and 1 at the same time, thanks to a property called superposition. This allows them to process a massive amount of information at the same time.
Why should you care about quantum computing?
Quantum computers could revolutionise everything from medicine to climate change. Imagine discovering new medicines in days instead of years, or creating unbreakable encryption to keep your data safe. These are just a few ways quantum computing could totally change our world.
The basics of quantum mechanics
Quantum mechanics might sound scary, but it’s all about understanding the very small particles that make up our universe. Qubits, the building blocks of quantum computers, can exist in multiple states at once (superposition) and can be linked together in strange ways (entanglement). Think of a regular bit as a coin that is lying on a table as definitely heads or tails, while a qubit as a spinning coin that could land on either side.
How do quantum computers work?
Quantum computers look way different from the ones you’re used to. They’re built with special components to maintain the delicate state of qubits, which are really fragile and sensitive to things like noise and temperature. The components used to help stabilise them include things like supercooled environments and precise lasers.
Quantum computing in action
Scientists and researchers are already using quantum computers to tackle big problems. For example, they’re working on finding new materials for better batteries and solving complex mathematical problems that were previously impossible, and there is so much more that can be done with further research and more breakthroughs.
The future of quantum computing
In the next 10-20 years, quantum computing could transform industries. We might see breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and even space exploration. If you’re excited about technology, quantum computing is definitely something to watch.
Getting involved
Curious to learn more? There are plenty of resources online to get you started. Websites like IBM Quantum Experience and educational platforms like Coursera offer courses on quantum computing.
