Student Services : Careers

Welcome back! Term 3 is always super busy in the careers office, as students finalise their subjects for 2025 and the Year 12s get to the serious end of planning their transition from high school. We are here to support all our school community along the way.

Year 12

Friday last week, I presented to all Year 12 students on approaching their transition planning this term. The presentation is available to Students on the files in the Careers Channel in Teams. I have also uploaded the presentation in Compass-SchoolDocumentation-Careers-Parents

Next week I will release a video to students and parents which will explain in detail the process for applying for university in Victoria and planning for 2025 and beyond.

I encourage all students in Years 10-12 to make some time to visit university campuses and research courses and opportunities for their future. A detailed list with links to register has been posted in Teams for years 10, 11 and 12. This table covers most Victorian universities:
