What’s Happening in Careers?

Year 10 

This term our MyPath sessions are focused on preparing our boys to make pathway and specific subject selections by the end of the term. They will be hearing from the Head of each learning area about the subjects on offer in their subject area. Students will get overviews of the course content, information about prerequisites and explanations of how these subjects can support them in pursuing careers in areas of interest.

So far, we have had four presentations – Science, English, Design & Technology, and Digital Technologies. The PowerPoints for these presentations will be emailed to students and parents so you can review them at home and discuss the options.

The event planning for our exciting MyPath week in Week 10 is in full swing. There is a great range of events to help the boys broaden their understanding of their subject selection and career options.

Year 11

The Year 11 students are busy preparing for exams and Workplace Learning.

There are a number of great opportunities coming up for our students. The Careers Expo, 15-18 May, is a fantastic way for the boys to explore career options and we hope that they take advantage of this opportunity to attend. Those who have been in the past have found it to be a very useful experience and would recommend it. Make sure you register for free entry!
