Year 11 Speed Careering Event

Our Year 11 students recently took part in an engaging Speed Careering event in the Discovery Centre, where they had the opportunity to connect with alumni working across a wide range of professions and industries. We even had the privilege of welcoming a special feline guest to complement our veterinary nurse!

Throughout the event, students rotated through a series of short conversations with alumni, hearing firsthand about their career journeys, day-to-day responsibilities, qualifications and the skills required to succeed in different fields. Students were also encouraged to ask questions and explore career pathways they may not previously have considered.

We were fortunate to welcome alumni with expertise in:

Exercise and Sports Science
Retail and Small Business
Sports and Entertainment Industry
Mineral Processing in the mining industry
Commercial Litigation and Law
Midwifery
Veterinary nursing
Radio Announcing and Broadcasting
Government
Astrophysics
The Australian Defence Force, strength coaching, martial arts and small-business ownership
Statistics within the Federal Public Service

The variety of careers represented highlighted the many different pathways available after school and showed students that career journeys are not always straightforward or predictable. Alumni shared practical advice, personal experiences and valuable lessons about education, training, resilience and adapting to new opportunities.

We sincerely thank all participating alumni for generously giving their time and sharing their knowledge with our students. Their enthusiasm and willingness to support the next generation made the event informative, inspiring and memorable.

External VET Courses 2027

We are continuously looking for new ways to expand learning opportunities for students, with a range of exciting external VET courses planned for 2027. These courses will provide practical, industry-relevant education and support students as they build their skills, knowledge and confidence for the future.
