Year 9 Students and Parents – Morrisby

Most Year 9s have now completed the Morrisby Profiling. We encourage students to review their Morrisby report with a parent or guardian and aim to have the Morrisby Tasks (Report and Student Workbook completed) submitted to Simon. This is needed to trigger the Morrisby careers interview which is particularly beneficial if undertaken in Semester One, prior to Course/Subject selection early in Term 3.

Year 10 Students and Parents – Work Experience/Structured Workplace Learning

Most Year 10s participated in the information briefing relating to work experience or SWL (for Year 10 Vocational Learners). Students now have the task of securing a placement, ideally by the end of this term. Further details, a video of the information briefing and helpful resources are available on Simon > Year 10 Careers.
