Careers & Pathways
Senior School Years 9-12
Year 9 Morrisby Testing
Wed 13 May
This term, all Year 9 students will be taking part in the My Career Insights program. This is a Department of Education initiative that will see all Year 9 students across Victoria participate in the program which is designed to help students discover, develop and drive their career planning. It's a unique opportunity for you to learn more about your strengths and abilities, while exploring potential career options – giving you the confidence to start taking control of your future.
On Wednesday 13 May, all Year 9s will be required to complete their Morrisby profiling after attending an information session in the Senior Centre (at a time adjacent to their Mock Interview). The Morrisby profile is a series of short assessments and questionnaires that measures your strengths in various areas, as well as assessing your interests, talents, motivations, personality and work preferences.
Following the profile completion, all students will be provided with a detailed Morrisby report and access to an online, interactive portal. Students are provided access to this for life. Late in Term 2, all students will also participate in a 30-minute one-on-one interview with a professional careers practitioner, to discuss the results and findings of their profile.
More information will be provided on this later. In order to participate in this program, we require consent from parents which needs to be submitted by Monday 11 May. This form is now available on Compass, so it would be much appreciated if parents could get this completed as soon as possible.
Please read through the information in the Event carefully, as there are now 3 options of consent for student participation in the Morrisby profiling:
1. Opt-in - full profile completion and interview with a practitioner. This is the default once consent is provided.
2. No response - access to Morrisby Careers, which only involves aspirations and personality testing. Students will still participate in an interview with a practitioner.
3. Opt-out - students will not participate in the program at all. You are required to decline the Compass event if you do not wish your child to participate.
Students are expected to complete the profiling at home throughout the day after their Mock Interview. If parents wish for their child to complete the profiling at school during periods 1 & 2 on this day, there is a separate opt-in event on Compass.
Students have been provided with more information and preparation for the Morrisby profiling during an assembly this week. If you require any more information, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Year 9 Mock Interviews
Wed 13 May
Students are using their Explore classes this term to prepare for their Mock Interviews. They are creating a resume, cover letter and developing their interview skills to allow them to apply for one the of the Mock Job Ads provided to them.
Students will be required to attend a ‘Mock’ interview with their Explore Teacher and an industry professional. This will allow them to gain a valuable experience and feedback on their resume, cover letter and interview skills to assist them in applying for future jobs.
To book an interview, students need to log on to Compass and use the Conference function (this is currently open) to book a timeslot with their Explore Teacher by Wednesday 6 May.
If students do not make a booking by this date they will be allocated a time.
Additional Information:
What to bring: resume, cover letter and laptop
What to wear: professional dress (smart / formal interview attire)
Location: Senior Centre
Year 10 Swinburne University Campus Experience Day
Wed 13 May
In Term 12, all Year 10 students will be attending an excursion to Swinburne University for a Campus Experience Day. This day plays an important role in helping students explore future pathways and gain a real understanding of what university and TAFE learning environments are like.
Students will soon be submitting their preferences and will be allocated two interactive sessions delivered by Swinburne’s university and TAFE teachers and students. These sessions are designed to introduce students to different study areas, practical skills, and potential career opportunities.
This excursion is a fantastic chance for students to broaden their thinking, experience life on a university campus, and begin shaping ideas about their future. More details will be shared on Compass and Teams over the next week. We encourage all Year 10 students to make the most of this opportunity, as it is one of the highlights of their school year.
