Year 12 University Camp

On Wednesday 27th April, our Year 12’s attended the University Camp where they visited University of Melbourne, Deakin University, Monash University and the VCE Careers expo. The 2-day camp was jam packed full of information, resources, and experiences for our students to help them plan their future. It was also nice for our students to mingle and spend time together as a group. Our students were lucky to have former Lowanna College DUX Chezka Capilitan show them around Monash University which was a real highlight.

All feedback was positive with everyone having a great time, and students reported the experience valuable in planning their career pathways for 2023 and beyond!

Year 9 My Career Insights - Morrisby Careers Assessment

My Career Insights is designed to help students discover, develop, and drive their career planning. It's a unique opportunity for them to learn more about their strengths and abilities while exploring potential career options – giving them the confidence to start taking control of their future.

Year 9 is an ideal time for students to take a moment to reflect on who they are, and what they might want from a career. It's a time for self-discovery and an opportunity to think about their strengths and find new ones.

Step 1: Discover - Students begin with Morrisby, the online discovery tool designed to help them learn more about themselves – their values, preferences, and skills – giving them a better understanding of where their strengths lie. These personal insights help open a variety of possible career pathways, specifically tailored to who they are.

This took place last week with catch ups this week.

Step 2: Develop - It’s now time for students to share what they have discovered. My Career Insights allows students to talk one-on-one with an independent career counsellor about any initial ideas and thoughts. This discussion will help them to set realistic goals and start putting actions in place to continue their career journey.

This will take place during week 8, term 2 – 14 June – 22 June

Step 3: Drive - My Career Insights aims to give students the confidence to start making more informed choices and decisions around their future schooling and widen their perspective on potential career options. It puts them in the driver's seat of their career journey. What a fantastic opportunity for our Year 9’s to have this careers assessment done prior to their course selections for 2023.

Year 10 Work Experience

Year 10 students will be undertaking a work experience program as part of their study group work education class. It is an expectation that all year 10 students participate in this 5-day program. Term 3 - Monday 25th July to Friday 29th July (inclusive)

Work experience is a one-week placement where students will be placed with employers to provide insights into the industry and the workplace in which they are located. It provides students with a valuable opportunity to develop employability skills, explore possible career options, understand employer expectations and increase their self-understanding, maturity, independence and self-confidence.

Students are required to source their own work experience placement. Students are encouraged to ‘have a go’ at calling and speaking with employers. Doing this provides students with a great opportunity to develop their communication skills, initiative and ‘real world’ experiences. There is a student support sheet to help students in contacting and visiting the workplace. Your child has the paperwork that is required to be completed once an employer has agreed to host them. Students are to return completed signed paperwork to Careers by 10th June.
