CAREERS

Careers Appointments

The Careers Office is located next to Student Services.  The Careers Coordinators for 2018 are;

  • Tim Kogelman
  • Craig Harris

The Coordinators are available to assist students to make informed decisions about career choices and choices for study. 

 

Throughout the year, students are seen individually or in groups regarding career information, subject choices and study skills. 

 

Students from Years 9 to 12 will be required to attend a compulsory interview throughout the year to discuss their future pathway, however, our doors are always open for students across the school who wish to speak to us. 

 

This term all Year 12 students will have their initial careers appointment for the year. At the recent Year 12 Retreat, students were told of the importance of these careers appointments and were given some initial tips to prepare them for their future pathways.

 

If you would like some advice on career pathways or training options please book an appointment with the Careers Office on 9735 5644.

School Leaving Age

From January 1st 2010, the Government brought in new requirements for the school leaving age.

 

Before a student is allowed to leave school they must satisfactorily complete Year 10 and until the age of 17, they must be in some form of full time training or employment.

 

Training options can include:

  • VCE
  • VCAL
  • Full Time TAFE
  • Apprenticeship

Any students wishing to leave school before these requirements are met must put in a request for exemption to the Regional Director in consultation with Lilydale High School.

 

All students leaving school before the end of Year 12 are required to fill in an exit form and complete a Careers or MIPs appointment.

 

Leaving school or not attending school can result in non-payment of Centrelink benefits.

Work Experience

Students from Years 10 to 12 have the opportunity this year to undertake Work Experience to develop their awareness of appropriate attitudes and behaviour in real work environments, to explore employment and career options, to develop contacts with potential employers and to observe the use made of skills taught in school subjects. 

 

Work Experience at Lilydale High School can occur at any time within the school year for up to 5 school days or 10 days, utilising part or all of the school holidays.

 

Students interested in completing Work Experience should speak to a Careers Practitioner who will inform them of necessary processes and forms required to complete Work Experience.

 

Tax File Numbers

Students who have begun part-time or casual employment or wish to apply for CSP (Commonwealth Supported Place) at a University at the end of the year will need to apply for a tax file number.

 

Students must apply for a TFN online and have their identity verified through an interview at a participating Australia Post Office.
