Careers and Workplace Learning Term 2 Wrap-Up

The Careers Centre and WorkPrep Office made the most of a productive Term 2, finishing the term on a high note. Last week saw the success of our annual Careers Expo, with over 25 external exhibitors in attendance, providing students with valuable insights into future pathways. This week, we also launched the Subject Selection process for our future Year 11 and 12 students, marking an exciting step in their academic and career journey.

As we head into the school holidays, it's a great time for students to continue exploring career options and training opportunities. We encourage you to visit www.norbertcareers.com for helpful resources and up-to-date information.

 

For those seeking more opportunities, a number of external career development events will be running across the metro area. These can be viewed in the Careers Calendar – Term 3, 2025 

Subject Selection

Current Year 10 and 11 students can access the Subject Selection Handbooks and other important documents via the SEQTA Welcome page, under the Subject Selection tab.

Parents can also access these resources using the links below:

We encourage students and families to review these documents thoroughly and seek guidance as needed.
