Senior Years Course Counselling

This week has seen the completion of the Course Counselling meetings with all Year 11 students and their families. These meetings provide a chance for parents/caregivers and students to meet with a Course Counsellor to discuss in detail the types of career pathways students are considering and the subjects to choose to assist them in meeting these aspirations. These discussions can sometimes be ones of great excitement, at other times confusion at which direction to take and at other times, uncertainty as the reality of reaching a career goal now seems more difficult. In every case there is a pathway into their preferred career regardless of how straight or unexpected the path. The possibilities for students are ever increasing and it is always inspiring to see the courage students show in sharing their career aims in such vastly different areas and the commitment they have to their  areas of passion.

Next week it is the turn of the Year 10s moving into Year 11, to attend meetings with their Course Counsellor and see where all of their work in PLP come to fruition in a pathway course into Stage 2 and their future career. A big thank you to all Course Counsellors who have given up free lessons and nights to meet with families and share in the plans that are being made. May God be with all of our students as they consider possible future directions at this exciting time. "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
