Our Careers Advisor Mrs Symons has put together some information for our students in Grades 10, 11 and 12.
SUBJECT SELECTION – GRADE 10 AND GRADE 11 STUDENTS
As part of a program of activities to assist current Grade 10 and Grade 11 students plan for next year, students are encouraged to visit the Careers Centre for help with selecting their subjects. The Careers Centre will be open during most recess times to provide one-on-one subject selection support.
I will also be in attendance at the Subject Selection Evening being held at the Senior campus on Tuesday 9 August.
UNIVERSITY APPLICATIONS
Applications for most university courses, accommodation and scholarships open in early August. Grade 12 students will attend compulsory information sessions about these processes next week and in Week 4.
Application drop-in help sessions will be held in Room C4 every Monday, Wednesday and Friday lunchtime from Monday 8 August – Friday 30 September. Students and parents are also very welcome to make appointments at other times.
GENERATION 2022 SURVEY
Our Grade 10 students have been invited to participate in the first year of a new longitudinal study of young people in Australia. In 2022, the GENERATION study will focus on the activities and aspirations of Grade 10 students – what they are doing now and what they think they would like to do in the future with study, training and employment.
Each student who completes the survey will receive an individual summary of their career interests, while the school will receive a summary report of the plans of Grade 10 students as a group. No individual student will be identified in the school report. All data will be kept strictly confidential and no individual student or school will be identified in published data or reports.
Further information about the study will be provided to all Grade 10 families along with a consent form in late August. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact me.
