CAREERS CORNER
Beverly Hills Girls High School Careers Expo
On Tuesday 17th June 2025 we held our annual CAREERS EXPO at Beverly Hills Girls High School. Supporting our already extensive Careers Program, various exhibitors attended which allowed students to gain a deeper understanding and explore the myriad of options leading to their future careers.
Tech Careers Expo
“As a part of our year 9 computing technology curriculum, we were invited to attend a technology-based careers expo at the company KPMG. When we first arrived at KPMG, we were met by a group of mentors who sat with us to talk about their tech careers and experiences. During the sessions, we were guided by an instructor who took us through a series of activities. We went through the different stages of technology throughout history, discussing how technology has evolved over time. As a final activity, we got to do a virtual escape room. Through this, we learnt about cyber safety and further expanded our knowledge on what is involved in a technology career. It was truly a wonderful experience 😊”
FUTURE FOCUS @ USYD
Year 11 students attended the University of Sydney earlier this term, Friday 1st August 2025.
On the day, students participated in:
Scholarship Workshop
- What you do in year 11 and 12 impacts your ability to apply for university scholarships and entry schemes. Set yourself up for success by learning more about our key scholarships, including what you need to be eligible, key dates and application processes.
- Take part in a scholarship application writing workshop and learn tips and tricks on how to write a strong scholarship application or personal statement.
Faculty Session
- Participate in a faculty activity of your choosing to get a taste of what it is like to study that subject area and learn about what your future career could look like.
Year 12 - Reminder
Don’t forget to apply to any/all early entry opportunities you’re eligible for, most of these will be closing soon – please check the Careers google classroom for more information.
Also, if you’re planning to apply to university, remember to activate your UAC account before 28th September as the registration for this will increase on that date.
Finally, whilst in UAC, apply for SRS and EAS (if eligible)!
You can find more information about all of this and more in the Careers google classroom, the UAC website https://www.uac.edu.au/ and please see Mrs. Pangis for any assistance.
Year 10 Subject Selection
Year 10 are making some important decisions regarding their senior study choices. It is a daunting time for most students trying to figure out what they should choose to study in Year 11 & 12.
To have the best opportunity at success, it is important for students to harness their strengths and find what they enjoy; a combination of these is more likely to lead to not only success, but better engagement in the senior years. Sometimes, students will need to have studied a particular course/subject in order to meet pre-requisite requirements to be eligible for specific courses, though, this is rarely the case.
Following on from a successful Subject Selection evening earlier this term, students have submitted their choices and are now in the process of having a mentoring interview with Mrs. Pangis and senior executive at school to finalise their selections.
Work Experience - Year 10 2025
The following weeks have been set aside for any student wishing to do work experience, this year dates will be flexible, and students can negotiate with the Careers Adviser and their teacher to go on work experience for the week. If these dates are not suitable with employers, students can discuss this with the Careers
Advisor.
