Pathways for University

We recently hosted an Overseas Insights Information Evening online and featured speakers from Imperial College and Study USA to speak about the application processes of an overseas university in the US and UK. Did you know we have a section on the Futures@Pymble site to help students and their families with gaining further information on overseas study?  You can view the recording from the event and further information here.

New Year 10 Program in Futures

The Futures Team are pleased to announce a new Career Development program for 2023. Based on feedback from students, staff and with the design of an improved MBS Careers program, the Futures Program for Year 10 has evolved to suit the increasing demands of preparing students for the future of work and diverse post school pathways. We would like to inform you that the student charge for Careers Development will now include:

  • Skills and Strengths Day on Wednesday 22 March 2023  – (which includes a individualised Cliftons Strengths Profile and a ‘Unpacking your Strengths’ workshop delivered by Kathryn Taylor from Turning Point Consultancy)
  • Future You Festival in Term 4, (includes personalised Motivational Map and student workshops delivered by Kathryn Taylor on Turning Point Consultancy on Mock Interview Preparation and Understanding your Motivations)

The Strengths Profile and Motivation Map help students to better understand themselves, clearly articulate their talents and identify opportunities that can help to build their success in future opportunities. Throughout the year, the MBS Careers program will include activities that draw upon students’ skills and motivations to add to their portfolio within the Pymble Passport. In addition, by end the of Year 10, all students will have a 1:1 Futures Planning meeting with one of our Futures Advisors to help them discuss their plans and how to achieve future pathways goals.

Careers Expo

We are excited to announce an upcoming Careers Expo that will take place on Monday 3 April at the Kate Mason Building and Conde Library. This is a wonderful opportunity for general attendees to learn more about different career options and industries that they may be interested in pursuing.

At the expo, attendees will have the chance to meet with representatives from various companies and organisations, ask questions, and learn about different jobs. Additionally, we are pleased to announce that there will be break-out rooms where they can meet alumni who will share their experiences about studying and working in specific industries.

There will also be informative seminars and workshops that will teach attendees about important skills such as university entrance schemes from the University Admissions Centre (UAC). Attending the Careers Expo will provide attendees with valuable information that they can use to explore different career paths and university options.

We hope to see you there and look forward to helping you learn more about the opportunities available to you.
