It has been a privilege to spend time catching up with Year 12 students over the past few weeks for Pathway Check Ins and I have really enjoyed talking to our cohort about the varied pathways they will be exploring in the future. 

Some students are planning to take a GAP year, others are hoping to commence full-time work, join the defence forces, travel and combine some of their passions like art or photography, pursue their specialist sport dream, support their family, do a TAFE course, get an apprenticeship or apply for university. 

No matter what their pathway may look like or how it ends up, it is great that students are prepared to think about and discuss their options so that we can best support them along this important journey. 

The next stage in this process will be collation into industry or course groups & targeted support in the specific areas that students have identified. This may be in the form of referrals, open day dates, resources, course guides or even a email about an upcoming job or opportunity. I look forward to supporting our VCE students further during this time and strongly encourage Year 11 students to get in touch if they would like to have an informal pathway chat with me.

ALUMNI

Alumni Tarik Phillips (Class of 2022) was invited back to WHC this week to unveil his painting that will be displayed in the Blue building. As well as unveiling the artwork which he created last year in Year 12 Studio Arts, he also spoke to the Year 11 and 12 students who'd gathered to celebrate the occasion. 

With his painting, called Identity, Tarik aimed to look past the surface of identity and look deeper into its meaning. He wanted to express how our identities are constantly developing and ultimately highlight how people need to be themselves and be who they want to be.

"This piece challenges the destruction of identity. This is seen through the representation of human figures without distinct facial features which are often seen as our physical identity. This also depicts the fight of individuals who conflict with societal norms and perceptions."
