Careers
We are well into Term 3 and there is lots happening in Careers over the next few weeks.
Tomorrow /Tomorrow woman
On Monday and Tuesday this week the Careers Team shared a goal setting session with Year 10 and 11 students. We discussed the importance of always being hopeful of a bright future, how to identify what is important to themselves and how to plan the next step of their career journey.
We also discussed 'Where to Now', Study Tips and how to navigate the school careers website. https://bairnsdalesccareers.com/

University Open days
University Open days are a chance for students to walk around the campus, ask questions about courses, speak to academic staff and students currently studying, visit labs and facilities, and an opportunity to visit accommodation halls of residence. This is a great opportunity for all those current Years 12 students who are considering a pathway to university to explore further education options.
