From The Careers Team
We are dedicated to helping students confidently explore their future pathways. Our careers support program includes one-on-one and small group guidance with our Careers Advisers to help students identify their strengths and explore a wide range of education, training and work options.
We offer personalised career planning conversations to support the student’s career development, subject selection, post-school pathways, and informed decision making. Students will also have access to practical support such as résumé writing, interview skills practice, work experience opportunities and industry insights.
Useful careers resources will be provided to students (and parents where relevant) at the times they are most helpful.
Industry Engagement
Industry Engagement is off to a busy start for our students in Term 1 with close to 50 industry visits and incursions. Students have been able to explore careers in Medicine, Community Services, Transport and Logistics, as well as visit wineries and water treatment plants just to name a few opportunities. Looking ahead at Term 2 it is already looking action packed with some exciting industry visits booked right from the first day of term. Thank you to all our industry partners for hosting our students and opening up your local businesses to inspire the next generation and share your industry experiences.
Structured Workplace Learning
Year 11 VM Work Related Skills students will be participating in Structured Workplace Learning during Week 6, Term 2 (Monday 25th – Friday 29th May). This is a valuable opportunity for students to gain real-world experience, build confidence, and develop important employability skills in a workplace setting.
We encourage families to begin conversations with their student about possible placement opportunities.
Speaking with friends, family, and local businesses can be a great way to help secure a suitable placement aligned with your student’s interests and career goals. Further information and required paperwork will be shared closer to the date.
If you have any questions, please contact Cara Bradshaw or your students WR Teacher.
