Careers News
We make a living by what we do; we make a life by what we give
Winston Churchill
A bumper Careers Newsletter was emailed last week to Year 10-12 parents and students and it is also available on the Careers Lampada page. There is a wealth of information and it is interesting to see the huge increase in webinars and online sessions over the last couple of years. What was previously a 5 page newsletter of events is now a 20 page newsletter of opportunities! The table of contents is listed below to provide an overview.
With Year 12 trials and Year 11 exams taking place over the next couple of weeks, it is a great time for Year 10 students to make appointments via the Careers Lampada page to discuss subject selections, Morrisby profiling and future pathways. Making informed subject selections can significantly impact post school course decisions so it is essential to research and think through the process. We encourage students to choose subjects that will keep options open while being guided by prerequisites, assumed knowledge and recommended studies. All Year 10 students have been given a copy of the UAC Year 10 Steps to Uni Guide, and spare copies are available from the Careers Centre. Please keep in mind this guide refers to only NSW and ACT universities. Other state requirements are available on page 3 of the Careers Newsletter.
Wishing Year 11 and 12 students and families all the best for their exams!
