Is this You?
If you are a former student, parent, or community member, and would like to help our young people with their career development, we’d love to hear from you.
We would welcome:
- Hearing personal career stories – either for the newsletter or in person at the school.
- Help with work experience placements.
- Sharing other skills or knowledge related to the working world.
Please contact Kylie Witt, our Careers Practitioner.
Work Experience Guidelines 2016
Year 10 students have started to organise their work experience placements. An outline of the procedure is attached here for your information.
Events & Workshops
Whilst all the tertiary institutions run open days later in the year, many of them also run special activities in the holidays. These shorter activities are often more targeted, and there are fewer visitors, so you can get more individualised information. We will promote them at school, but you should make a habit of actively looking for them as well.
A couple of examples are listed below:
- Meet Melbourne – events, seminars, holiday programs, – go to www.futurestudents.unimelb.edu.au and sign up for their newsletters.
- Inside Monash Seminar Series – information on all study areas, spread out through the year. March offerings include Business & Economics, Science, Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences – more info at www.monash.edu/inside-monash
- RMIT – runs workshops throughout the year – follow this link to see what kind of events take place, bearing in mind that some of them are during school hours - https://www.rmit.edu.au/events/all-events/tours/2016/
