What’s Happening in Careers?
Year 10
I wish all Year 10 students the very best during this week's exams and hope they are all coping well and enjoying the challenge exams demand. Our subject area presentations are also complete. All of the PowerPoints are available on the Year 10 portal and have been sent home via email. Hopefully, the boys have a good idea of their options and have done some thinking about what pathway they want to pursue.

The boys have had one presentation on the application process and how their ATAR results are determined. Following the exams there will be a second session where I will walk them through the application process. However, if they have further questions they should seek help from the Careers team.
Registration is online and a fee of $95 is payable before they can set up their preferences. These preferences can be changed as many times as they like before the offers round.
