Careers News
Year 12
Welcome back to Term 2.
With all the changes to the usual activities that are held at this time of year such as the Careers Expos, Information Evenings and visits to University Open Days, many of these events are now being held online. All the universities and other organisations are offering webinars, online presentations, Facebook events, live streaming etc to provide students and parents with information. Year 12 2020 Careers Booklets can be collected from the Careers Adviser's Office by students or through the Main Office by parents.
Constantly updated information is being communicated to students via their Year 12 Google Classroom, emails and the McCarthy Careers Facebook page as well as the McCarthy Careers website.
