Careers
Welcome.
Important things to note this week include.
The Careers, Transitions & Pathways Classrooms are my main vehicle to communicate information to students.
Here are the codes to the Careers/TaP Classrooms for all new students and those who have for some reason not already joined. Please join NOW.
Your Classroom is where I will share any upcoming events or courses that you may be interested in. Often these events have limited spaces available and require an EOI so it is important that you make sure you are reading notifications.
Parents are also able to join as Guardians. If you would like to join the Careers Classroom of your child, please email kcc-careers@ww.catholic.edu.au and state your child's name and year group and that you would like to join the Careers Classroom.
This will be the main platform used for our Careers notices and activities.
Work Experience
I am meeting with CEDWW next week to finalise arrangements for Work Experience for this year. Due to the proposed changes no new Work Experience will be approved until further notice. As soon as we have received confirmation of the new process, I will email all Year 10 students and their parents. A Zoom will also be arranged for a Tuesday evening where I will walk through the process with all students and parents.
I am available for bookings during school hours and also every Thursday from 5:00 pm—7:00 pm via Zoom.
Why book an appointment?
You might not have any idea what you want to try next after school, and that is completely OK and normal. I can help you navigate that next step by chatting to you about a lot of different options.
You may know exactly what you want to try next after school, and I can help you achieve that goal. It may be advice around gaining an apprenticeship in your chosen field, or investigating different tertiary courses etc.

Notes
If this is your first meeting with me you need to fill out this form. If you have ever filled out the form you do not need to do it again.
If the meeting is between 5:00 pm—7:00 pm it will be a Zoom and you will be sent a link once you have made your booking
Parents are welcome to attend meetings, but please indicate this when making the booking. If parents would like to be involved in the meeting but can not come in person, we can arrange to Zoom you while I am meeting with the student.
In Term 2 we will be implementing a new program ‘TaP Tuesdays’
Every student from Years 7—12 will engage in a short Careers-type activity during Coaching on Tuesdays. Some weeks the whole school will do the same activity, however most weeks it will be specific to each year group.
Until Term 2, Years 9—10 will just be encouraged to check their Google Classroom on Tuesdays during Coaching for any events that are coming up that they may be interested in.
