Your Career Planning
From Year 10, decisions that you make about your subjects in the senior years have a significant impact on your future career opportunities. For this reason, the College has planned a detailed career development process that will help guide you in your decision making. SET plans are made during an interview process between students, parents and the College during Year 10 and are reviewed in Year 11 and Year 12.
The Year 10 Career Planning Process
The College provides a detailed career planning process to assist Year 10 students with their career choices and subject selections.
Throughout the year, students are exposed to a range of career planning tools including career talks by industry professionals, industry placement (Work Experience), Career Expos, Job Guides and the CERT I in Work Education delivered by the College.
In addition to these activities, students also have access to the following websites and resources to help in their decision making. Students are encouraged to explore some of these sites:
My Career – It will assist you to explore a wide range of possible career options. http://mycareer.com.au/
