Careers News
Welcome to Term 3! We are looking forward to an action-filled Term in Careers as we share opportunities and explore possibilities with students. We will continue to meet individually with Senior students to discuss post-school options in line with interests, identify skills in line with future jobs and create flexible and interactive career plans with students. All Senior students have a Careers Action Plan on OneNote which is accessed through their Year Team page which we encourage to be shared with parents/carers.
Over the next couple of months, a number of institutions will host Open Days (see list below). This is a fantastic opportunity to gain insights into courses, meet professionals and current students and gather information. Year 11 students are strongly encouraged to attend Open Days this year as Year 12 trials occur around the same time.
Reminders:
- Year 10 Work Engagement documentation is due to be uploaded onto Lampada by 31 August 2024. A “check-in” survey has gone out to students to see how they are going in securing a placement and a workshop to support students was held this week.
- US Undergraduate Information Session is being held at Shore on Friday 16 August from 5.00pm-6.30pm. Students from Years 9 to12 are encouraged to attend and learn more about the US application process. Tickets are available on trybooking.com/1236384.
