Careers Update!

Although it is one of the shorter terms in our school year, Term 3 is certainly one of the busiest. In the Careers and Pathways space, there is a great deal happening as students balance their current studies with important planning for the future.

This is the time where the old meets the new – with the Class of 2025 finalising their pathways into 2026, while younger year levels begin making key decisions that will shape their senior years.

Year 12 – Course Counselling & VTAC Applications

Course counselling for our Year 12 students is now well underway. Students have been working closely with our staff to finalise their plans for 2026, and it has been wonderful to see so many taking thoughtful steps towards their chosen pathways.

At the same time, students are already well into their VTAC applications and registrations.

This is an important milestone in the final year of secondary schooling, and it is wonderful to see the engagement and dedication shown by our students as they consider their next steps in tertiary education, training, or employment.
