The Career Path

Year 10 Work Experience 

Our Year 10 students have been involved in work experience placements recently and  many local business’ have opened their doors to them. 

There are a number of published studies that highlight the benefits of students undertaking such experiences. Australian longitudinal studies have demonstrated  that students combining part time work and school have an increased chance of being in full time work upon school completion, and more times than not, part time work for our students has emerged as a result of them undertaking work experience. An essential outcome of work experience is its ability to add to the employability of our students. I once again thank  the following employers involved in this vital dimension of the career development of our students.

Newcastle University Campus Visit 

A group of Year 12 students recently completed a campus tour of the University of Newcastle. The tour was an opportunity for them to see student accommodation options first hand, as well as a chance to participate in a variety of hands on faculty  workshops. Taking time to visit university campuses is a valuable learning experience for our students as it assists them with deciding on their future study courses and destinations.

This program is a series of 6 webinars that focuses on the career paths associated with science and technology. It’s well worth a look for those of you who love your science, but also, for those of you who might be starting to think about your future career. The series includes the following episodes:

Where will an interest in Biology lead me?                                        

What is Chemistry useful for?                                                                 

If I study Physics, where will I end up?                                                  

What type of jobs use IT skills?                                                       

How many different types of engineer are there?                        

I like Maths. Is there anything I can be other than an actuary?
