Careers Space 2023

It was wonderful to welcome our fabulous Alumni back to our campus for our Annual Careers Space event 2023. This year we had 35 graduates who walked through our gates to share their stories with our current students. Wonderful conversations, sage advice and the myriad of options out there were all discussed.

We held the event in three different spaces. with a focus on a tertiary room including students from university, TAFE and private colleges. We tried to make sure that we had a wide variety of industries, careers, jobs and job arenas.

With these events, the most important element is not matching up students to jobs of their interest – as these change over time. What is important is opening the student’s eyes to new ideas, to get them thinking about their futures and also to help them see that the career paths can be messy, non-linear and subject to many outside elements and influences.

We are very grateful for the time, effort and energy that this Alumni body put into giving back to our students in Year 10, Year 11 and Year 12.

“The Careers space day helped me understand the career I wanted to purse after school and how to succeed in my chosen career. Talking to ex-students allowed me to better understand their ideas about the HSC and their future career and everything university related.” By Nathan Bognar, Year 12
