Middle Years 

Morrisby Wrap-Up!

I3 in Rees House has been buzzing over the past 2 weeks, with approximately 240 Year 9 students coming through our doors to partake in a personalised, one-on-one pathways conversation with a careers counsellor.  

It’s been fantastic hearing students talk about their results, subject suggestions and possible electives they may be interested in doing over the next few years, as well as hearing some interesting career suggestions!  

We know that students have been discussing their results amongst themselves and their classroom teachers have also reported that students are chatting about their results with them.  We hope that students have brought the same enthusiasm home!

It’s important that students remember that these results are not prescriptive – whatever Morrisby has suggested as your 99% match does not need to be your life choice.  However, we are certain that this process and these conversations have given students a good starting point and some valuable things to think about as we move into subject selection next term. 

There are still a handful of students who are yet to have their interview – these students will be contacted via Teams when a catch-up day is organised in Term 3.

Finally, I’d like to give a huge thank you to students for their commitment and enthusiasm in taking part in this program; parents, guardians and teachers for supporting students in finishing their profiling and allowing them time to complete their interview; and Maggie Murnane and Phil Newnham for their help over the fortnight in making sure students were able to attend their appointments on time.
