VET Pathways & Workplace Learning
We had the most incredible week for the Year 10 MyPath experiences last week and have just completed the subject selections with counsellors. I would like to thank Tyrone Tuohy and Peta Paduano for all their hard work and dedication to provide the students with an amazing experience, as well as all the additional staff that support MyPath Week.
As Term 3 begins, it is a crucial time for senior school students as the Year 10s choose their pathways for next year, Year 10 and 11 apply for TAFE, and Year 12s explore apprenticeship opportunities for 2026.
I would like to congratulate all students for the way they have conducted themselves whilst out in the community and how they continue to demonstrate the values of what it means to be a Mazenod student.

We’re excited to share a unique opportunity for students in Years 10, 11 and 12 who are interested in film, TV, and digital media.
Starting in 2026, a Specialist Media Course will be available to students, offering exclusive access to Western Australia’s brand-new $233.5 million film studio - currently under construction in Perth and set to open the same year.
This is a first-of-its-kind program designed to give students real-world experience in the screen and media industry, at a time when Media jobs in WA are expected to grow significantly.
What the Course Offers:
- Enrolment in either Certificate II in Creative Industries or Certificate III in Screen and Media.
- Opportunities to visit the studio and observe live productions.
- Network with industry professionals working in directing, sound, lighting, cinematography, editing and more.
- Hands-on experience working in professional roles on short film projects.
- Development of a strong, industry-ready portfolio that can support employment or further study.

This course is designed not only to engage students creatively, but also to build their confidence, industry skills, and career readiness in the growing creative industries sector.
Who is it for?
