Careers/Senior Pathways

Career News

This week, the Year 10 cohort participated in the 'Dare to Dream' week which was a combination of Career and Pathways activities and Personal Development. All girls participated in a number of enriching activities designed to sculpt their future pathway including seminars from both The Jobs and Skills Centre at RMIT University (The Future World of Work), and Tyson Day from 'Arrive and Thrive' who spoke of the importance of networking in a blended form; online with platforms including LinkedIn and in person. Students gained real life skills by partaking in 'A day in the life of Recruitment' workshop with Julia Galante. This session was opened by the Year 10 Global Theatre Class who performed scenes on 'how to' and 'how not to' present for an interview. Thank you to all students and Steve McPhail for this wonderful entertaining segue into the workshop. The Careers and Pathways component of the program culminated in a visit from Marian Gandy, President of 'Dress for Success' and 'Groomed to Go' not for profit organisation who spoke about the importance of girls education and women in the workforce. To enrich this visit, students put their skills into a real life 'pitch' for a chosen career which they presented to their peers and Year 10 Homeroom Staff. Appropriate attire was worn by students and many skills were learnt and practiced. All clothing from our clothing drive has been donated to the charity to further empower women in South Eastern Melbourne. 

We thank the Killester Community for their support to make our clothing drive a success. 

Finally, in our jam packed week, we were blessed to have many Killester Alumni who generously gave up their time to share their Pathway since graduating from Killester College. We had a vast array of different Careers represented and all students were especially interested to hear the journeys each guest showcased. Thank you to all of the Alumni who were in attendance for this event. We truly value your time and hope you visit Killester College again in the future.

In summation, I would like to sincerely thank the Year 10 Homeroom Staff for their vested support across the week and I personally thank each and every presenter who assisted to make the week an enriching experience.
