Term 1 Careers News Highlights

This term the Careers team have been witness to a large number of students seeking out careers advice on Tafe’s, Universities, Apprenticeships and work experience. We would like to acknowledge students hard work and determination across all studies in Term 1. Please see information below regarding careers opportunities in Term 2. 

Year 11 2024 VCE and Careers Expo 

Sunbury College is taking all Year 11 VCE students (attendance is compulsory) to the VCE and Careers Expo on Friday May 3rd. The Expo is to be held at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre and is Australia’s biggest careers and education Expo with an extensive list of exhibitors and seminars. The aim is to give all Year 11 VCE students the opportunity to explore some of the options available to them when they complete their education as well as gain invaluable access to resources and study advice. Students will travel to the event by train, leaving school at approx. 9:00 am and returning by 3:10 pm and will be accompanied by Senior School staff and VCE/VM/Connect teachers for this activity. Students will be required to complete careers research, attend a seminar where applicable or seek advice about VCE study related issues, remaining in the exhibitor’s enclosure during the event. 

Students are expected to wear Full School Uniform and permission to be completed through Compass. Should you have any queries, please contact Senior School Leader Sarah Heath or Careers Leader Josh Pritchard on 97441066 at the College.
