Our Year 10 students had the opportunity to attend the Northwest Regional Careers Expo at the Tamworth TRECC, joining around 2,200 students from across the New England Northwest. The expo provided the students with an invaluable opportunity to explore a wide range of career options by engaging directly with exhibitors from various industries, including universities and training providers from across Australia. Many students took advantage of the chance to ask questions and gather information to help guide their future study and career pathways. This event continues to be a key highlight for students in the region, offering insights and inspiration as they plan their pathways beyond Year 10.
