Careers News

Our school's Careers Advisor's Karen Tuynman (Monday & Friday) and Marguerite Hernage (Tuesday  to Thursday) are excited to continue supporting our students in navigating the evolving world of career opportunities. We highlight the significance of early and comprehensive careers education. Recent studies have shown that quality careers support not only broadens students' aspirations but also enhances their engagement and motivation in school.

We remain committed to fostering strong partnerships between our school, parents, and the wider community to provide comprehensive career support. Together, we can equip our students at Wyndham College with the knowledge and experiences they need to thrive in an ever-changing job market. 

The link provided is to Beyond - The Digital Careers Platform, a powerful careers platform which the school invites all members of the school community to register. Please encourage your child to make an appointment with either Karen or myself for the opportunities the school has to offer.

School Based Apprenticeship & Traineeships (SBATs)

For students, a school-based apprenticeship or traineeship (SBAT) is a head start to your career combining paid work, training and school. Not only will you get an industry recognised national qualification, but also unit credit towards your NSW Higher School Certificate (HSC). 

You can start an SBAT in Year 10 or Year 11 and some training arrangements can contribute towards your Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).  Students develop practical skills and can be “work ready” when they finish school. SBAT Engagement Officers provide mentoring and assistance with employers, local communities & schools.
