Year 8 & 9 Curious Careers Incursion
Tyson Day from curious careers visited year 8 and 9 students on Friday 18th October. Students were able to understand some of the skills and attributes they have under the surface and why being curious is vital to developing a meaningful career. Students learnt about the ROAR framework and how this can support them in their high school journey.
Tyson Day will be visiting our year 9 students for an Applying for Work incursion on November 20th where students will understand how to apply for casual employment and write a resume that captures their skills.
Truganina College prepares students for the next phase of their life by providing opportunities to learn about different careers. We hope these incursions will inspire students and broaden their understanding of career opportunities.
