Careers News

Thanks to all the students and parents I have met with over the past few weeks to discuss plans for 2020 and beyond.  It’s great to feel the energy that students have when talking about their future, and the journey they are on to get there.  There are infinite opportunities ahead for young people, and so many different pathways to them. 

YEAR 12 STUDENTS

VTAC application process is well and truly underway for our current Year 12 students.  Thank you to all the parents who attended our information night to help support their child through the process.  A copy of the presentation is available on the Careers Page on My Northcote High, under the VTAC section.

 

A reminder that students should be working on this task in Connect sessions.  I will also be available to assist students on their de-stress day, or directly by appointment. 

 

All Year 12 students should have their course application, SEAS, Scholarship and Payment completed by the end of this term!

VTAC PORTFOLIOS AND INTERVIEWS TO PREPARE FOR??

The SNAP team is pleased to offer your senior students the opportunity to participate in an exciting design workshop in the September school holidays.

 

Now in its eighth year, Ready Set Design is a series of three workshops for students in Years 11 and 12 where they can learn about careers and tertiary programs in design, develop their folio, and practice their interview and presentation skills.

 

Registrations are now open for workshop 3 (Interview Bytes), which will be held on Wednesday 25 September at RMIT’s City campus.

 

The Interview Bytes workshop will give students the opportunity to hear from a panel of RMIT design teachers and current students about what to expect during a program interview. The panel will share their experience as interviewers and interviewees, and discuss the kinds of questions students may be asked, as well as some techniques for presenting their folio to the interview panel.

 

To register their attendance, students must visit our event page, select the workshop they wish to attend, and provide their details. Students aged under 18 years of age will also need to return a consent form signed by their parent or carer.
