Call Out to Old Boys to Share Their Career Experiences
On Wednesday 14 September, during Periods 5 and 6, we are hosting a Career Conversations afternoon with our Alumni. Year 11 students were invited to design this event and we held our first Careers Committee last Friday. The afternoon will involve sessions in classrooms across a range of professions and industries and will include Old Boys who are established career professionals and also younger Old Boys who have recently graduated from Shore.
If you are an Old Boy, and would like to share your story, we are in need of representation in the following areas:
Health, Exercise Science, Sports Management, Renewable Energy, Engineering, Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, Science, Environment, creative industries (including Design) and entertainment industries.
If you are a parent, brother, uncle, son or friend, we would love to hear from you via email: vshirriff@shore.nsw.edu.au
Call out to Shore Community for Assistance with Work Engagement Programme
It is proving challenging to secure placements for students with the increase in the number of staff working from home. We would greatly appreciate any organisations that are able to host students on-site for five days. There are two programmes running this year which are as follows:
- Monday 19 September to Thursday 22 September – Year 11 non-Cadet students
- Monday 28 November to Friday 2 December – All Year 10 students
If you work for an organisation that is able to provide a work experience opportunity for students to gain an understanding of a specific industry, please get in touch. This may include spending a day in each area of the organisation, job shadowing, undertaking a specific research project and or collating surveys and data. We are also very happy to work with you to develop a programme should you wish. These learning experiences are invaluable for students and allow them to gain insights into industries before investing their time and energy into tertiary education.
The Careers Newsletter is also available on the Careers Lampada page. The table of contents is listed below to provide an overview. We hope you are able to attend and that your son finds the information provided useful in the planning of his future career path.
