Dear Students, Parents, Carers and Guardians,
Welcome to the 2025 Year in Careers! Term 1 has kicked off already with our Year 10 Career Discovery Day where Year 10 students undertook Morrisby Testing and participated in a series of hands on Career Workshops. The next big event will be for all Senior School students Year 10 -12 and parents when we host our annual Senior School Careers and Employment Expo on Tuesday 18 March, so please save the date and mark your diaries now!

Applying for a Tax File Number (TFN)
Any student will need a tax file number if he/she starts work (casual, part-time, and full-time) and all students planning on a tertiary education require one when they start, so it is worthwhile getting an application submitted early.

I look forward to working with all students supporting them to navigate their Career Development journeys this 2025 school year.
Moreover, on Wednesday 18 February 2025 our Year 10 students commenced their Senior School Career Development Journey by partaking in a Career Discovery Day.
The day commenced with them completing their Morrisby Profile that identifies their aptitudes, interests and personality which in turn provides them with Career, Course and VCE subject suggestions.
After a light luncheon provided, the Year 10 cohort were very fortunate to have Tyson Day from Arrive & Thrive present a Career Design and Values workshop which explored the process of designing your career, followed by the Applying for work workshop where students learned what they need to thrive in their first job such as creating a good resume, the importance of the perfect pitch, personal branding, and a good digital footprint. A jam-packed day which provided our students with a great starting point for their Career Discovery!
