The College wishes all of our past students the very best in their chosen pathways and we welcome any students who would like advice to visit us throughout the year.
We hope that 2020 is a successful year for all of our students and we look forward to working with many of them in planning their future pathways.
To the Year 12 Class of 2020
The careers team would firstly like to wish students success in the final year at the college, and look forward to supporting you with your career decisions. Parents with students in year 12 should note that a careers bulletin will be emailed to students every fortnight. This bulletin contains crucial information about Universities, TAFE’s, work options and career advice. Parents have also been emailed a link to a careers information site.
Career Education Interviews
Currently the careers team is beginning the process of booking in Year 12s for Career Education Interviews. All students from years 10 – 12 will be participating in the interviews. Career interviews with students in years 10, 11 and 12 will begin in term one. The focus of the interviews will be to discuss student intended pathways and explore courses and careers. It is suggested that students who are unsure of their pathways undertake an interest test prior to these interviews. Information on undertaking interest tests can be found in the careers room.
Work Experience
Students attending the Central Australia Trip will have the opportunity to undertake work experience between 15 June and 18 June. Students not attending the Central Australia Camp will have the opportunity to undertake two weeks of work experience, from 15 June to 26 June.
We love the enthusiasm of the year 10 students who have spent their time in the Career Office organising their placement.
As work experience placements are quite competitive, it is advisable that students organise their work as soon as possible to ensure a valuable experience. Students can visit the Careers Office to get assistance. Tuesday lunchtimes have been allocated to work experience students.
