Careers
Professional Development Sessions
Ms Gibbs and I attended two excellent Professional Development sessions late last term; the RMIT Careers Advisers Day and a session on Careers in the Australian Defence Force. Reports for both these events are included in Career News 5.
Year 10 Life Skills Sessions
Later this term, we will be meeting Year 10 students during their Life Skills sessions. We will be talking to the students about the decisions they will need to make as they head into Year 11, subject choice where relevant, using the VCE / VET Handbook (which they will all receive later in the term) and beginning to plan for life after Aitken.
