Year 10 Future Pathways Update 🌟

All Year 10 students recently undertook their SET Planning for Years 11 and 12. This was a huge success and provided our students with valuable insight into their future pathways, subject choices and what life beyond Year 10 may look like.

It was fantastic to see our students engaging in meaningful conversations about their goals and aspirations. We look forward to supporting them as they continue to plan, prepare and take the next steps towards their future. 🎓

We are also looking forward to Term 4 and beyond as our Year 12 students prepare for their next chapter. There are some exciting opportunities ahead!

Year 9 students will be undertaking Work Experience in Term 4!

Now is a great time to start thinking about where you might like to go, what you’re interested in, and what type of work you would like to experience.

You might already have an idea of a career or industry you’d like to explore, or this could be a great opportunity to try something completely new and see what interests you.

📌 More information will be provided next term, but for now, it’s just something to start thinking about. If you have a particular workplace or industry in mind, you can also start exploring your options and seeing if you might be able to secure a placement.

A big congratulations to all our students for taking such positive steps towards their futures! 👏✨

Enjoy the school break, and I’ll see you all next term! 🌟
