Careers 

Hello Parents/Guardians and Community Members,

Welcome back to term four and the final term of 2026. I hope all students enjoyed a good break over the holidays. Good luck to our Senior students undertaking HSC exams! 

TAFE YES Programs Term 4

Some of our Year 9 students have been fortunate to take up an opportunity to participate in another round of TAFE YES programs commencing next week. The two opportunities available are:

• Be A Builder – Construction Program running on Fridays from 30th October for five Fridays up till 4th December. *There will be no workshop on the Friday 6th November due to the Jamberoo excursion. 

• BE An Electrician – Electrotechnology Electrician Program running on Tuesdays from 27th November for five weeks till 24th November. 

   

Both programs are now full, and all students will need to return the TAFE forms as well as parents to complete the School Bytes Parent permission note. 

Students must wear PPE and have the opportunity to borrow PPE such as steel cap boots, drill shirts and drill pants from the careers office or they can wear their own. *All students are expected to start at 9:30am and must have parental permission to leave prior to 3pm. Students need to follow all school behaviour policies while attending TAFE and may be excluded from the program if they cannot follow TAFE Teacher directions.

*Students attending on Tuesday 27th October, will need to come directly to school to sit their Year 9 PE exam and Mrs Ing will then transport them to TAFE straight after the exam. 

Successful Seniors Program 

Our annual Successful Seniors Program will be held in Week 5 this term. The aim of this program is to provide our year 10 students with an overview of the expectations and requirements to enable a smooth transition into their senior studies. 

The workshops are designed to provide students with more idea of what it takes to be a successful senior student and include; information on the requirements of NESA, understand the structure of the High School Certificate, Time Management, Understanding the Syllabus, Academic Writing as well as an overview of the many supports available here at Narrandera High School. I encourage all students to attend the full program to better prepare themselves for their senior years of schooling. 

*There is a compulsory requirement for all year 10 students to undertake NESA training course called All My Own Work. Students who are not at school during week 5, must complete this training as soon as they return to school.

The Australian Future Farmers Exchange Program

Due 30th October 2026

The AFFE Exchange Program offers a unique and enriching experience for senior secondary students passionate about agriculture.

Are you passionate about careers in Agriculture? Through this exchange program, participants have the remarkable opportunity to apply for the tour to SE QLD to visit leading agricultural industries for a week, gaining invaluable insights and practical knowledge. *Students need to submit an application by the 30th October and there are only 12 places available across Victoria, NSW and QLD (four from each state). Students in Year 10-12 who meet the age and eligibility criteria (see attached link and documents) can apply. There is a cost, but students who are successful may be able to be supported with fundraising opportunities.
