Virtual Expos - Register Now
What has changed in 2020?
Remote learning, contactless shopping, social distancing – there has been much that has changed over recent months that we've had to quickly adjust to.
It also seems that things won’t be ‘back to normal’ anytime soon so there will be many more things that are different this year.
For our senior students in particular, the regular programs, events and activities that we have developed as part of senior school to support their transition into life beyond school will also need to be adapted.
Schools partner closely with universities and TAFEs to prepare students for higher education pathways. These institutions have also been quick to support schools as we navigate this changing environment together.
I encourage students to explore and engage in new ways of gathering information and investigating potential course and career options.
Virtual Career Expos
At this time of year, Melbourne would normally host major VCE and career expo events. With this not being possible, there are two virtual career expos that students can participate in. These will allow students to gain valuable information, speak with course advisors, listen to webinars and explore their options. It will just be from a different perspective!
