Careers

Hello Parents/Guardians and Community Members,

We have several important events that have either commenced or coming up this term within the Careers Department:

Work Experience – All of Year 10 Week 5 NEXT WEEK 6th November – 10th November!

Year 10 students should have their placements all sorted now and are reminded to bring the forms back to my office so that I can check these forms and ring each employer to do the Duty of Care Checklist with them before signing off on each placement.  This is on next week 6th November till 10th November. 

TAFE YES Programs for Term 4:

The new round of TAFE YES courses has commenced, and students have again demonstrated exceptional manners and engagement in these courses. Many students came to speak with me this week to express how much they enjoyed their first day at TAFE. We have two courses currently running; TAFE YES Construction which is running each Friday as well as the TAFE YES Early Childhood/Disability Care Course which has various days and dates due to teaching availability. 

As always, these amazing courses are due to the tireless work and advocacy for our students by Fee Smith of Narrandera TAFE, so a huge thank to Fee! 

White Card Courses:   30th November TERM 4

We now have a confirmed date for the next White Card Safety Course which will be held on Thursday of week 8 30th November. All students wishing to undertake White Card training are encouraged to see me to have their name put on the list. Due to the rules of SafeWork we can only host 20 students in each course, so I am seeking out another date for the next course which will be in Term 1 2024 for those who miss out this time. The course is completely subsidised by the Department of Education and so there is no cost for the course itself. However, the SafeWork Card does have a cost of $28.50 for each student. 

Year 12 Finalising Post School Plans:

We also have our Year 12 students finalising their school journeys with their HSC exams and many coming in for appointments to seek assistance with their future planning and Uni/scholarship applications.

I will be sending all Year 12 Graduates an email with links to resources and example Resumes, Cover Letters and Selection Criteria resources in the coming weeks, however any student/graduate who requires assistance with preparing their job applications are welcome to ring and make an appointment with careers so I can assist them with this process. 

All Careers Events:

All these opportunities are always announced to students at our morning assemblies, year meetings and in our newsletters. Any student or parent who has any questions in relation to these activities or any other careers planning questions are welcome to contact the careers office for further information.
