Leader of Pathways and Partnerships – Lisa Formica

Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organisational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.

Pathways and Partnerships

This term has seen the Empower Talks move to lunchtime instead of breakfasts. These are available to anyone interested in Years 9-11. We have had a Real Estate presentation (many thanks to Jed Wood, from Fox and Wood) and Nursing (many thanks to Jane Whitten from Kareena Hospital). Students can see who is coming through the daily notices – some of the upcoming talks include Childcare, Interior Design and Speech Therapy.

If you would like to chat to our students at an Empower Lunch about your industry, I would love for you to reach out. 

Interested students in Year 10 have achieved their White Card (General Construction Induction Training). We recently hosted a trainer at the school to conduct a one-day course for our students. This course provides a required qualification for anyone planning to work on construction sites in any capacity.

All Year 10 have now received their information packs regarding Work Experience in Term 4. If your daughter is in Year 10, it is her responsibility to source the work experience. This valuable life skill will stand them in good stead when they are looking for part-time work, applying for scholarships or moving into the workforce full time. 

Keep reading the Careers Newsletters – the folder is updated weekly. We are now in Open Day season, which is a great opportunity for students in Year 10 and Year 11 to visit universities in preparation for their studies post school.
