PATHWAYS & CAREERS

This week we welcomed Anna Steicke to the Pathways team where she will be assisting students in Term 4 while Brenda takes long service leave until the end of the year.  Anna is a very easy going, well known local who is excited about working with our students to help them develop their career pathways and support them on their work experience placements. 

Murray Mallee LLEN Ag & Hort Careers expo

Last week our Year 11 Agriculture & Horticulture students attended this fantastic Expo where they had an opportunity to speak with representatives from many local agricultural businesses, as well as others who travelled to the event such as Wiru Drone Solutions, Longerenong College, CQUniversity and the Minerals Council of Australia.

All students enjoyed speaking with a very diverse range of industry experts as well as trying out some of the hands-on activities.
