Term 2 continues to be a busy term with lots of opportunities for students to research their career pathway options. It’s never too early for students to begin thinking about what they may want to do when they leave school. Year 13 career interviews continue this term and in the second half of the term the Year 12 career interviews will commence. We encourage students to take advantage of the opportunities listed below. If you would like to book an appointment or have any questions, please get in touch.
