Year 10 Pathways

What interpersonal skills do we need for the real world? The development of Respect, Trust and Positive Relationships has been our focus for Year 10 Pathways this term. Our year 10 cohort have taken a journey in understanding the components of Australia’s diverse society including cultural, sexual and gender diversity. Students have explored how they can embrace and work with people from all walks of life, thinking about their own personality type and how that can shape our career prospects in the future.

Students have been fortunate to hear from a range of different guest speakers during the program. Earlier in the term, Danielle Brunton presented on her experience engineering in the humanitarian sector in the Middle East, including the importance of problem solving, negotiation, emotional intelligence and decision making. We also had two fantastic speakers from an organisation called Minus 18 come in to run a workshop on understanding Sexual & Gender Diversity. For cultural diversity week, we had a team of volunteers from Courage to Care run a workshop on Anti-Racism and Discrimination through the lens of the Holocaust. This was an invaluable experience for our students to hear first-hand from a Holocaust survivor called Jack.

We look forward to continuing the Year 10 Pathways course next term with a focus on work ready skills, including Communication, Teamwork and Problem Solving next term.
