Important dates and information about upcoming careers events will be shared with students via their Compass Newsfeed, and in this section of the newsletter. Some events will be open for students to attend individually and others will be a school excursion.

Parent/Carer Support for Careers and Pathways
Are you seeking more information to assist your student with pathway planning?
Research has found that parents and carers are the single greatest influence on a young person’s education and future career decisions, with students often seeking confirmation or support on pathway decisions. Having access to relevant and recent information can greatly assist in career and pathways conversations.
Please see these links which provide some excellent parent and carer resources:
