Careers & Pathways

Year 10 Work Experience 

Last week of Term 2 (Monday 24 June to Friday 28 June)

During the last week of this Term, Year 10 students will go out for a week of work experience. This is an exciting time for our students as it provides insight into industry and gives students the opportunity to develop employability skills; explore possible career options; understand employer expectations; and increase their self-understanding, maturity, independence and self-confidence.

Students have prepared for the upcoming work experience program in their careers classes this term. As part of this process, students have created or updated their resumes to reflect a professional style format. In addition, students are drafting cover letters to request potential work experience placements. As part of the legal requirements, students must complete two Occupational Health & Safety Certificates - one general module and one in a related industry area. Before completing their placements, there are two legal arrangement forms that must be submitted to the school fully signed ready for Sue’s (Principal’s) signature. All paperwork should be completed and returned to the student’s careers teacher who will arrange for Belinda to process paperwork to be signed. All paperwork must be submitted two weeks prior to students completing their placement. If you have any queries, please contact your students careers teacher.

We would also welcome any families who run their own businesses to consider supporting our youth by hosting a placement. If you are considering it and have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Belinda or Naomi in the careers team.

Applying for medicine or dentistry?

If you are planning on applying to university to study medicine or dentistry in 2025 you are required to sit the UCAT in addition to applying through VTAC in Term 3.

What is UCAT?

UCAT stands for University Clinical Aptitude Test. UCAT is one of three main criteria used by most universities in Australia and New Zealand to select students into high demand health related careers such as medicine and dentistry (the other two criteria being performance in Year 12 and an interview).

The UCAT is a two hour, computer-based test which assesses a range of mental abilities identified by universities as important to practicing in the fields of medicine and dentistry. It consists of five separately timed subtests which each contain a number of questions in a multiple-choice format.
