Pathways and Transition
John XXIII College Career Planning Expo 30 June
In conjunction with the Year 10 Pathway & Transitions Day we are excited to be running our Careers Expo once again this year. The Year 10 students will be visiting the Expo, in the Thomas Moore Exhibition Centre, between 11am – 12:50 pm as part of their planning day and, during lunchtime, the Expo will be open to our Year 11 and 12 students.
This is a great opportunity for our students to seek advice and information from Universities, TAFE’s, and other training providers.
Australian Jobs
Check opportunities across industries, occupations and locations in the Australian Jobs 2020. It also has a step-by-step guide on how to secure a job.
You can get a copy of Australian Jobs 2020 HERE.
Transition NOT Change
We need to start preparing students for life outside of school earlier so that they can gradually transition from school into their next chapter. Leaving school is already a significant life change and not preparing students for what lies ahead is cruel.
In primary school, the preparation relies on teachers and families exposing students to an eclectic range of experiences.
In middle school students start taking responsibility for exploring the world around them without relying on teachers and families to deliver every opportunity.
In senior school, students need to be stepping out and engaging with the world beyond school.
Dave Turner advocates this approach in his WE3 Continuum and the Mitchell Institute The Capable Country report provides further information.
