Careers
This is an important time for all Year 12 students as they make decisions about pathways, study, and work for next year. This is a good time to talk to your friends, parents, and teachers, and most of all do your research! A range of useful resources have been posted in the Careers Team folder and on Compass in the Careers folder. You can also book a careers interview with me to get assistance with course advice and setting up your applications. My advice would be to open a VTAC account to keep your options open.
The following recordings will provide information in setting up your course application, SEAS and Scholarship applications and early entry courses.

During Term 4 all students will be creating a careers e-portfolio. The portfolio will support students in developing an action plan that will assist them to:
- Focus on your goals and plans for the future
- Work out how you are going to achieve what you want relating to school, work and life
- Review, reflect and learn more about yourself as you progress through school
