Year 9 Career Discovery Day 7th May 2019

Morrisby Online Assessment

For the first time, Wheelers Hill Secondary College was proud to offer all Year 9 students the opportunity to undertake the Morrisby Online Assessment. The Morrisby profile is used as a tool to inspire students and give them some guidance with their career planning.

Morrisby has been around for over 50 years and assists students with gaining a greater insight into their aptitudes, interests, work styles, preferred work environments and personality. It measures a student’s verbal, numerical and abstract aptitudes. All of this information is then analysed and each student receives their individual profile. Based on responses, each student is provided with a comprehensive list of occupations that they can consider and conduct further research on. Having some idea of the types of careers students might be considering will assist them when choosing electives and senior school subjects. Once students have opened an account with Morrisby, their login is for life, which means that as their interests change, they can re-sit the assessment and obtain further career guidance.

Morrisby was delivered in four stages –

· Introduction to Morrisby – delivered to students on Monday 6th May

· Morrisby Assessment Day – Tuesday 7th May

· Unpacking Morrisby Profile – delivered to students Friday 10th May

· Individual career interviews will commence Friday 17th May and run over a five-week period

After completing and unpacking their individual assessment, students will be scheduled in for a 30-minute career interview with a qualified Careers Consultant. They will be emailed their appointment times and parents are more than welcome to attend. The first lot of career interviews for 21 students, have been scheduled for Friday 17th May. These students have been emailed their appointment time and location within the school. I would like to thank Diane Trevor for coordinator the interview process.

As you can see from the above delivery timelines, this has been a huge undertaking by the school and so I would Iike to take this opportunity to thank Aaron Smith for supporting the program and the following staff for their involvement with planning/delivering aspects of the program which has ensured its success – Melissa Robinson, Jacinta Wilson, Paul McGlynn, Tracy White, Peter Niforas, John Cheung, Sharon Sharpe, Cameron Patience, Gary Campbell, Abby Novak, Genelle Lentini, Peter Stone, Anna Anatoudis, Peter Arcaro, Khairi Razaai, Holly Jepson, Kylie Cicolini, Corina Toon, Ryan Joyce.
