College Careers Centre

Here To Help All Our Students

Welcome to the College Careers Centre at our Mentone Campus, centrally located in a bright and welcoming space, nestled within the Library and Resource Centre precinct.

Within this student-centred hub, it has been a vibrant and busy start to the new academic year with many students already having visited for a counselling and general advice. 

Along with general Careers Counselling services, this week we begin the Setting Up for Success interview series in support of the College High Achievers Program, as well as finalising arrangements for the Year 10 Morrisby Testing Program, that will take place later this term. 

The Careers Centre is for all students - from Years 7 to 12 - and it's open before, during and after school hours.  

Here, students can discuss and manage their pathway options, with focus on subject selections, course exploration, wider post school options, preparing workplace documents and mock job interviews. There's also lots of helpful information from many tertiary providers, universities, TAFEs, apprenticeships, private institutions and more. 

"It is never too early to work on goal setting and exploring options of interest, or to learn about Early Entry schemes and pre-requisite tasks and subjects – we can assist with all of this!

 

It's our aim to equip and upskill our students with knowledge and resources they need to navigate changes in their career, so they're ready for the future and ever-changing world. We help build their self-awareness, to realise their strengths, define their values and follow their passions with courage and self-belief.  We're committed to preparing confident and well-equipped young adults who are ready to embrace life post-school. 

 

We'll have lots of events including: Career Expos, Tertiary Immersions, Year 9 Careers Week, guest presenters, Alumni Panels, Tertiary Sector Visits, the Career Tools Program and Careers Week activities and webinars. 

 

All of these things are here to help students manage the different stages of their future career journey. Pop in at recess or lunchtime to see how we can help you get where you'd like to go!"

We look forward to welcoming everyone - students, parents, staff and our Old Collegians - and continuing to develop the legacy of excellent Careers practice for our students and families.
