Careers

Located in the Student Management area at Holloway Road campus, the Careers Room is open every lunchtime. Students are welcome to come around and browse resources, ask questions, or book an interview with our Careers Practitioner, Deb Hanlen.

Year 12 - Good luck for the future

The Year 12 students have completed their VTAC course applications and are now preparing for exams. Deb Hanlen is available up until the end of school and during the change of preference period for advice and support. Details of how to contact Deb will be emailed home.

Any student seeking employment may also like to come over to the careers area to look resources and have a chat. Our College is often contacted with employment opportunities and these will be posted on Compass.

What do I need to remember to be successful in my first year of Uni or TAFE?

Remember...

Students who do best at university or TAFE are not necessarily those with the highest ATARs but those with persistence, determination, organisational and self-management skills that are also assertive in asking for help. Make sure you choose a course you will enjoy and are interested in; otherwise, you may experience problems with motivation. Form friendship groups with other students so you can be active in groups that discuss work and share ideas. Students that are engaged in learning communities and networks have a more positive university experience.

I should attend orientation and transition activities – that way I can find out about support and advisory services available to me!
I need to seek assistance to learn expectations of my lecturers – I will have to learn about tertiary essay writing, using sources, avoiding plagiarism, and managing my time, etc.
I must remember to ask for help – no-one will necessarily be offering any!
I will need to be an independent learner – my lecturers and tutors will not be reminding me about deadlines!
I will need to take charge of my own learning – no-one will be checking up on me to see if I am keeping up with work or assignments!
I will need to organise my time effectively – there are no bells to remind me where to be!
I must remember that my classes may be much larger than what I have been used to at school – I will receive less individual attention!
I must make friends – building new friendship groups will help me cope and help me stay motivated!
