This is an expo organised by the careers advisers of the Sutherland Shire to support our Year 12 students as they prepare to transition from school to work, university or other training. With almost 100 exhibitors, it is a valuable event with something for everyone. As it is targeted at Year 12, students can easily discuss their needs by finding out about things such as Early Entry, Scholarships, cut-off dates etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Year 12 – Future Teacher Scholarship <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sydney Catholic Schools is proud to offer an academic teaching scholarship in 2026 for high-performing Year 12 students at our school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Future Teacher Scholarship \u2013 Applications Now Open<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Offered is up to $20,000 in financial support over four years plus a one-off $2,000 upfront payment to get you started.

Different speakers will attend during lunch time to discuss their occupation in a casual, informal way with students from any year group. This is a great way for students to hear about the day-to-day duties of a role, and the different ways to enter that role, from someone still working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is also a fabulous networking opportunity for students to develop connections they may not otherwise have. All students are welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Monday – 4 May HR and small business management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This was our first Empower Lunch of the year. A huge thank you to Mrs Kelly Salmon for taking the time to discuss with our students the career of HR and the important aspects to running a small business. The girls had some fantastic questions, and greatly appreciated the time Kelly gave to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upcoming Empower Lunches at OLM<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tuesday 2 June – Mirvac – Construction and Project management<\/p>\n\n\n\n Monday 15 June – Paramedicine (UTas discussing their Sydney based talk)<\/p>\n\n\n\n TBC UOW Student discussing the pre-med degree and the options it offers<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are interested in assisting with a casual half hour chat to our students about your position, I would love to hear from you.
