Students in Years 10, 11 and 12 will have a minimum of four interviews with a Careers Advisor over the three years, with students encouraged to seek additional careers guidance as needed. Students in younger grades are also welcome to book an appointment with the Careers Support team to help with their career planning and aspirations.
Careers Planning Interviews
Each student will have their first scheduled Career planning interview in Year 10. This helps them to prepare for Year 11 and Year 12, and to be begin to plan their career pathway and any tertiary study.
Prior to their Career planning interview, students will complete an online career assessment that helps them to tap into their strengths and interests. This is a great starting point for them to explore their career options before meeting with the Careers Support team.
In the interview, students and their Careers Adviser will discuss:
