Last week our Year 12 students attended the Sutherland tertiary Careers Expo at Sutherland Basketball Stadium. This is an Expo organised by the Shire Careers Advisers specifically for Year 12 students with a fabulous range of exhibitors, who were able to answer the specific questions of our Year 12 ladies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Career Expos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These annual events help NSW students in Years 10, 11 and 12 prepare for the HSC and future career opportunities. It is not necessary to attend all events – the same providers are usually at all events. It is recommended that Year 10 students attend either the HSC and Careers Expo or the Western Sydney Careers on the weekend with their parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The apprenticeship \/ traineeship Jobs Expo is specifically designed for students looking for a job. As it is local (Gymea Tradies), it caters for jobs for our students in the local area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday 8 May, all Year 12 students attended the Sutherland Shire Tertiary Careers Expo. This event is organised by the careers advisers of the Sutherland Shire, for Year 12 students only. It is a great event for Year 12 students to have local access to the tertiary providers they are interested in, to ask questions, and to explore providers they may not have known about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empower Presentations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During terms 2 and 3, students in Years 10 – 12 will be invited to attend Empower Presentations where they can informally meet and discuss the career of the guest speaker. This provides exposure to careers as well as allowing the students to understand first hand the daily activities of the job and the entry requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timetable for these presentations is constantly changing and being updated (all presenters are working in the industry they speak about and unexpected situations present themselves which require changes to the schedule).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students can check daily notices for which presenter is speaking that week, below is a timetable of presenters already booked in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
