Year 9 Career Action Day
Last week all Year 9 students were involved in a Careers Action Day. The day was designed to assist students entering part time work and preparing them for their future aspirations.
During the day students developed a Career Action Plan, learned valuable job searching skills, heard from recruitment experts about creating perfect resumes and took part in a mock interview.
The day was a huge success and the Year 9 students are to be congratulated on their efforts during the day.
