HSC Careers Expo

This week the annual HSC and Careers Expo is being held at Entertainment Quarter. It runs from Thursday to Sunday with a host of seminars and talks. It also exhibits every university, private college, TAFE and tertiary education provider. Everything to do with life beyond school is housed under one roof. Year 12 students have been sent tickets so they can attend in their own time. I would also encourage Year 11 to attend this event (tickets are $12) and details have been sent to students. More information can be found here.

Year 10 subject selection 

It was great to present to Year 10 this week on subject selections and all the varying factors to consider. We hope that the Year 10 students are now starting to think about this and what to choose over the next few weeks. Best wishes with this process.

Annual Careers Space event

Finally, we loved hosting 22 Alumni back at our School to take part in our Annual Careers Space event with Years 11 and 12. We had a range of Alumni from all careers, with interesting career trajectories, who shared their knowledge and insights.

We had a range of rooms with a variety of ways of interacting including: campfire style conversations, speed rotations and Q&A panel sessions. We enjoyed having the Alumni back and their advice for our students was excellent and greatly valued.
