Careers Update

Year 10 and Year 12 Careers appointments will be starting at the beginning of next term. Year 10 appointments will focus on VCE subject selection with students receiving further feedback on their Morrisby profile, reviewing prerequisites that may be required for the courses of interest and evaluating appropriate subject choices based on interest. Year 12 students will be completing their Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) application for their tertiary study next year. Some students are also looking at applying interstate and possibly overseas. It is the beginning of an exciting time for them.

A reminder to all Year 10-12 students that the Open Days for University and TAFE colleges are fast approaching. All dates and booking information are on the careers page on Shelly.
