VET and Careers News

The Careers team assist students with career planning advice, tertiary and VET pathways, scholarship applications, work experience, resume development and job applications. Students are invited to come in and book a time to meet with our Careers team. 

Careers Lunchbox Sessions

Each term, we hold Careers Information Sessions for our senior students. Our first lunchbox session for 2021 will be Pathways to Medicine, jointly presented by the University of Queensland, Griffith University and Bond University. The sessions are held in Break 1, Room 406 and students should bring their lunch.
