Year 9 and 10 Pathways
Year 9 students are starting an exciting ‘Mock Interview” project where they work in small groups, deciding where they are applying for a job, research the business and think of answers to questions they will be asked. Groups will then record each other being interviewed in the LRC Green Screen Room where they can produce a short film clip for feedback.
Year 10 students have just completed a Coaching Young People for Success program called ‘My Life and Career Pathway Plan’. This program requires to students create a personal profile, consider their life-type, imagine career possibilities and also to challenges them to create an action plan for success. This program is always well received by students and one we enjoy incorporating into our Pathways Program.
