VCE and Careers Expo
Our Year 12 cohort attended the VCE and Careers Expo on Friday 3 May. Our students were fortunate to meet Andrew Douch, an award-winning former teacher, who is now a sought-after conference presenter and is in demand as a facilitator of professional learning workshops at all levels of education.
Andrew was recognised by our students as the presenter of the Biology content on Edrolo, a teaching resource used at Nazareth.
Expos
By the end of this week, all Year 10 and 12 students will have had an opportunity to visit a careers expo to help navigate the many post school options available. Many have come back with valuable information, and some have returned with prizes.
Year 12 VCE students attended the VCE and Careers Expo at the Melbourne Convention Centre. There were a large amount of Universities, TAFEs, Apprenticeship companies, Employment companies and even interstate Tertiary providers for students to glean information on. Check out the photos:

Careers Website
Last week, Year 11s were introduced the many features of the College Careers Website. They were also able to begin the new Careers CoPilot program to help make post secondary pathway decisions in regard to interests and formulate a Career Action Plan. Students were also shown the Cover Letter and Resume Templates they can use if they are considering applying for part time and casual positions.
This resource holds a HUGE amount of information and is applicable to students of all ages and also to parents
As well as having a specific section to help parents, did you know that parents and students can sign up for a careers newsletter and newsfeed with careers information? The newsletter sign up is under important information. The newsfeed sign up is under parent information...newsfeed.
