VCE/VM

We are currently meeting with every Year 12 Student to check their VCE/VM pathways and discuss Careers support for their VCE/VM journey this year.

We’ve already had some great conversations with students and look forward to their future success.

Work Experience

Work Experience is available to students that are 15 years and older. Please fill in the Expression of Interest (EOI) at each Careers Hub. You will need to complete Safe@Work Certificates and your Career Action Plan (CAP) .

If you wish to do your work experience in the building or associated industries, you will also need to complete a White Card – Construction Induction Course. Please ask for help with this.

Year 9 Morrisby Profiling - Parent permission is now on compass!

Year 9 students will again be participating in Morrisby Profiling and interviews. My Career Insights is a program for all Year 9 students in government secondary schools.

In partnership with the College Careers Advisors this interactive platform provides Students the opportunity of:

Self-discovery
Recommended study pathways
Career suggestions
Applications guidance
Action planning
Careers advice and support

As part of the program, your child will:

Complete a series of online questions and quizzes (on the Morrisby Profile Website) at school
Receive a Morrisby Profile Report showing the results from the questions and quizzes, and possible jobs that match their abilities, interests and personality
Have a 30-minute meeting with a Morrisby-trained Career Practitioner, who will explain the report to your child.

The cost of registration and testing is currently subsidised in Year 9. You can complete the profiling at a later date but you MUST register in Year 9 to take advantage of the fee free registration.

If you don’t register in Year 9 but wish to complete the profiling in later years a fee will be payable by the parent/guardian.

Please contact the Careers Team if you require further information.
