Year 12 Students' Lifeskills Classes
We have very much enjoyed our time with the Year 12 students in their Lifeskills classes. Students have been shown how to research course options in more detail so they are able to make more informed decisions. For those not yet sure about their pathways, post Aitken, we have revisited the ‘myfuture’ website so that they can undertake further career exploration and research. It is fascinating to learn about the wide variety of options students are contemplating pursuing post Year 12. For the remainder of the year we will be working with the students to devise a pathway they are interested in and hopefully excited about, with in-built safety nets.
A reminder that students need to have a Tax File Number if they plan to enrol in a course of study at university or TAFE, or take up employment in 2019.
