Year 9 Morrisby Unpacking Interviews – Booking Information

Dear Families,

Morrisby unpacking interviews will take place during school hours across two separate weeks. The first block of interviews will be held on Thursday, 20 March and Friday, 21 March. The second block will take place on Monday, 31 March; Tuesday, 1 April; and Wednesday, 2 April.

Each student will have a face-to-face interview with an external Morrisby-trained Careers Consultant. During this session, the consultant will guide your child through their profile, explain the results in detail, and demonstrate the platform’s interactive features.

BOOKING AN INTERVIEW

You are invited to attend your child’s interview. Given the demands of work and extracurricular commitments, we are providing you with the opportunity to book your child’s interview on a first-come, first-served basis. We ask that you book an interview time for your child, even if you are unable to attend.

Bookings are now open on Compass under ‘Conferences’ and can be made in the same way as PST Interviews. Select "Year 9 Morrisby Interviews 2025" and choose a suitable time. Families may only book one interview time per child. Please note that Careers Consultants are listed as CAS Teacher 1, CAS Teacher 2, and so on. Parents only need to book with one Careers Consultant.

The booking system will close on Wednesday, 12 March. If an interview is not booked by this date, your child will be randomly allocated a time.

ATTENDING THE INTERVIEW

If you are unable to attend in person, your child can access their Morrisby account at home after the interview to share their results and explore the platform with you. Unfortunately, remote interviews cannot be accommodated.

Interview schedules have been confirmed with external Careers Consultants. Due to Morrisby staff shortages, changes to interview times cannot be made. If your child is unable to attend on the day due to illness, please notify Reception, Steph Martin, or Jack Crameri as soon as possible.

Please be aware that last-minute cancellations or time changes may occur due to unforeseen Morrisby staff illness. If this affects your child’s scheduled interview, you will receive an email.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Preparation for our Year 10 Work Experience Program in 2025 is well underway, and we are excited to offer students the opportunity to explore future career paths, build relationships with employers, and gain valuable real-world experience.

Your involvement in this program will provide our students with invaluable learning experiences and help them develop essential skills for their future pathways.
