Careers @ HPSC
The Careers team have been very busy in Term 3. This is usually the busiest term of the year with the Senior School Expo, VTAC opening, course counselling and pathway meetings all happening.
We recently underwent a review of our career practice at the school by the Career Educators Association of Victoria (CEAV). A big thank you to Linda Rackham who was an integral part of providing information for the benchmark review, together with some insightful students and parents. We now have the draft report and will be working solidly on the recommendations to improve outcomes for our students
