Careers News
Welcome back to 2018
The Careers Department aims to empower students to make informed decisions about their future, post-SPX. Senior Students are given a variety of opportunities throughout the year, including careers testing, university and industry lunchtime presentations, form meeting presentations, university and TAFE information and free access to the Job Jump website. Year 12 students will visit the Northern Beaches Careers Expo later in the year to assist with career and study pathway choices.
Students in Years 10, 11 and 12 are directly emailed the Careers Newsletter every week. A copy of the Careers Newsletter can be found below.
It is important to be informed about what choices are available when making decisions about your future career pathway. Working on developing ‘soft skills’ that future employers are looking for is crucial in today’s evolving work environment. Being involved in extra-curricular activities at St Pius X, taking on leadership responsibilities, working as part of a team, being able to accept extra responsibility, the ability to work independently and work to deadlines are all important skills that can be developed whilst still at school.
All the best for a successful, informed and enjoyable 2018.
TAFE 2018
TAFE classes commence TUESDAY 13th FEBURARY for new (Year 11) and continuing (Year 12) students.
Students will be given an orientation pack next week before they attend. This includes a student’s responsibilities and dates for 2018. Mandatory work placements must be organised in the school holidays and TAFE staff will assist students with placement.
A reminder, that if you are absent from TAFE for any reason, then you must contact Ms Janes BEFORE class.
Please contact Ms Janes if you have any questions about commencement, fees or student responsibilities. djanes@stpiusx.nsw.edu.au
All the best to our new and continuing TAFE students. It is a fantastic opportunity to obtain real industry qualifications, whilst still studying at high school. TAFE provides practical and industry experience, which allows students to explore real world career pathways.
