Pathways & Careers Report 

Kara Rysava

Term 2 is a busy time in the Careers and Pathways space!

 

Our big events this term are Year 9 Morrisby and 10 Work Experience. 

 

Year 9 Morrisby Survey

 

On May 22nd, all Year 9 students will have the opportunity to complete their Morrisby survey.

 

Morrisby is a free online tool which helps students identify their strengths and potential careers pathways. Students will complete this survey at school during periods 1-4 on May 22nd.

 

Morrisby can help to inform students in selecting their subjects and pathways (VCE or VCE VM) for Year 10.

 

All students who complete their profiling will have an opportunity to meet with a Morrisby consultant later in the year. The consultant will help the students unpack and make sense of the results.

 

All Year 9 students have received a consent form containing information about Morrisby.

Can you please ensure you consent to your child participating in this survey at your earliest convenience? Parents can also give consent via Events in Compass.

 

Year 10 Work Experience

 

Work experience week is just around the corner, and it is an expectation that all Year 10's will attend.

 

The dates are Monday June 23rd June – Friday June 27th.

 

Year 10 students will be continuing to organise their work experience in their careers and humanities classes over the coming weeks. The careers and pathways team are also available to help students, but we do encourage them to take ownership and try to organise this themselves. 

 

How Parents/Guardians can help:

  1. Talk with the student and encourage them to find Work Experience.

  2. Discuss with students how they can get to Work Experience. Public transport/family to transport. 

  3. Are there family or friends who can help offer a placement? Encourage students to make the most of the time set aside at school to obtain Work Experience.

  4. Help the student contact a potential employer.

  5. Maybe share your experience of high school and work experience

  6. Ask student for forms. They could potentially be in pockets or in the bottom of bags.
