Broader Horizons

Broader Horizons is a Year 9 Careers Program which provides students with a broader outlook and higher awareness of potential careers available within the local community. This year’s program will involve participating in three sessions throughout June. Year 9 students will be given the opportunity to participate in one of the following industry areas – Agriculture, Health, or Local Government. Prior to making a selection, students are encouraged to explore the wide variety of jobs that are available in all 3 of these Industries.

Students will be completing information forms, listening to speakers, etc. in their Advisory sessions in the following weeks. We have been so fortunate to have an active and enthusiastic team at our local LLEN to organise these opportunities.
