Careers

It has been a very busy Term 3 but all our Year 10/11 and 12 students have now completed their careers interviews and for Year 12, their VTAC applications. During Term 4 we will be providing our Year 12 students with detailed information on the Offers process and supporting them in their lead up to receiving their results. Many of the Tertiary Institutions will be running programs these school holidays and I have included some of these below, along with details of the RSA course we are running. 

RSA Course 

We are once again offering an online RSA course for any members of our Shelford community, including staff, students, parents and siblings. Completion of this qualification is required to work in restaurants, pubs, and community events where alcohol is served. It is a great qualification for our students to have when looking for part-time work in the future. This course will be run by RSA for Schools, who we have previously used as our provider. The course will run online on Wednesday October 11 from 4-8pm. 

Registrations are $70 and can be made at this link https://www.trybooking.com/CLFYS    

Registrations are fully managed through RSA for Schools.  

Student participants need to be in Year 11 or 12.  

Please contact me at cfreney@shelford.vic.edu.au if you have any questions.  

Deakin University 

Monash University 

Monash University will also be holding campus tours during these school holidays at their Clayton, Peninsula and Caulfield campuses. Bookings can be made here: Events calendar - Discover Monash 

Experience Day Workshops 

Calling all Year 10-12 students; explore your curiosity and creativity in Fine Art, Design and Architecture at Monash! 

Year 10 – 12 students are invited to participate in one of these hands-on experience days workshops, to gain a better understanding of different art mediums, design thinking approaches, and architecture studios at the Monash Caulfield campus.  Students will find out what it is like to be a student for a day, meet the staff and explore the workshop spaces they would get to work in as a student at Monash.

School Holidays Campus Tours 

In the upcoming September holidays, RMIT will be hosting campus tours for high school students across the City, Brunswick and Bundoora campuses. These would be worth registering for, particularly if students missed the recent RMIT Open Day. 

A Day in the Life of a Swinburne Student 

Students in Years 9 to 12 are invited to visit the Hawthorn Campus and experience the university first-hand. With talks, presentations, hands-on workshops into future study areas and more, there is no better way to feel prepared for university life. There are four days so students can register for the one they are most interested in. They will all run from 9.30am to 3.15pm.
