Year 10 Careers Excursion to RMIT and Melbourne University
On Tuesday, 26 March, our Year 10s went to Melbourne University and RMIT. This showed us what career pathways we could take and which courses we need to do to get there. At the University of Melbourne, the presenter told us about what we need to do to get into Melbourne and possible career pathways you may want to take. We were taken on a tour around the grounds which were beautiful. The building I loved the most was the library because it was filled with books. As we walked around there were lots of clubs we saw which showed that there are lots to do and anyone could fit in. We also went to RMIT which was fun. We learnt about which courses they offer and what pathways we can take to get there. After that, we were sent on a scavenger hunt around the campus which was fun. Overall, I really enjoyed going to Melbourne and RMIT and was happy that we got the chance to visit different universities to see what they are like and what we may want to do in the future.

Year 10 Careers Experience Program - June 24-28
As part of Year 10 and the Careers Curriculum in 2019, all Year 10 students will undertake one week of Work Experience Placement. 'Careers Experience' allows students to develop key transferable skills which link directly to the classroom through better engagement, learning and achievement. Careers Experience allows students to develop these skills in an authentic environment, investigate a future career path and to see the connections between future study areas and the world of work. In preparation, students last year received a 'Careers Experience Handbook' and Information Pack and commenced researching and contacting possible placement locations.
Year 10 Students
Please be actively seeking to finalise your placement arrangements and, once the Work Experience Arrangement Form has been signed by the employer, yourself and a parent/carer, return the form to the Careers Centre.
All students should have arrangements finalised by March 16th.
