Parent/Carer Support for Careers and Pathways
Are you seeking more information to assist your student with pathway planning?
Research has found that parents and carers are the single greatest influence on a young person’s education and future career decisions, with students often seeking confirmation or support on pathway decisions. Having access to relevant and recent information can greatly assist in career and pathways conversations.
Please see these links which provide some excellent parent and carer resources:

University Open Days
Are you considering University study – have you been to an open day?
Universities across Australia host open days throughout the year. Any students considering attending University are strongly encouraged to arrange to physically visit the campus and participate in Open Day’s and organised activities, prior to applying for a course. Ensuring you are comfortable on the campus for the University of your choice is equally important as choosing the right course of study! Use the careers website open day link to see dates for 2025.
Dates are updated as Universities advise details.

Careers and Pathways
Important dates and information about upcoming careers events will be shared with students via their Compass Newsfeed, and in this section of the newsletter. Some events will be open for students to attend individually and others will be a school excursion.
Please encourage your student to check their Compass Newsfeed on a regular basis so they don’t miss out on opportunities for careers events.
