Dear Parents/Carers & Students,

As this is my first communication with many of you, I would like to briefly introduce myself. My name is Mr. Benjamin Nguyen, and I serve as the Careers Adviser for our students. 

My role is to provide comprehensive careers guidance, helping students explore post-school options, understand their pathways for HSC and beyond, and connect them with opportunities like the Externally Delivered Vocational Education and Training (EVET) programs outlined in this letter. I am here to support your child in making informed decisions about their future career and educational journey.

Are you interested in gaining industry-recognised qualifications while completing your HSC?
