Careers + Opportunities

Careers and Pathways

Important dates and information about upcoming careers events will be shared with students via their Compass Newsfeed, and in this section of the newsletter. Some events will be open for students to attend individually and others will be a school excursion.

Please encourage your student to check their Compass Newsfeed on a regular basis so they don’t miss out on opportunities for careers events.
