It was wonderful to see so many Year 10 parents attend the Morrisby Profiling session on Monday night. The profiling was undertaken by all Year 10 students last week and includes questions on aptitudes, personality and interests. It is an evidence-based tool that builds students’ self-awareness and how they may fit in this ever-changing world of work. The session was recorded and is available on the Careers Lampada page.
Expressions of interest are being sought by Year 11 students to join the Student Careers Committee. This is a great opportunity to meet and discuss student opportunities, design events and support peers in their post-school pathways. Interested students should describe in 100-200 words why they wish to be involved and send to: vshirriff@shore.edu.au
A reminder to Year 12 students that Early Entry programs are open for Macquarie University, UTS, University of Canberra, UNE, University of Newcastle and WSU. Further details are available in the Year 12 Notebook and on the Careers Lampada page.
Last week, we were fortunate to welcome IE University to Shore, an internationally recognised university in Spain providing students with innovative, entrepreneurial practice-based education. One of the best ways to learn about the world is to be in a class of international students, and at IE University, there are over 130 nationalities on campus. Students can study a range of courses in Business, Economics, Design, Computer Science, Environmental Science and
much more. They also extend the traditional PPE degree (Philosophy, Politics, Economics) to PPPLE to include Law.
We also welcomed Monash University, which provides the double degree experience not available at Melbourne University. While Monash offers undergraduate Medicine, they also have a unique pathway to postgraduate Medicine where only Monash students are able to enrol. The preferred pathway is through their B. Biomedical Science. Students looking at undergraduate Medicine will need to have studied Chemistry in Years 11 and 12 and have an ATAR of 98.
Finally, the latest Careers News has been released, which has a wealth of events and opportunities for families to explore. It can be accessed on the Careers Lampada page.
