Claire Pech – Careers Advisor
This week, we are back with a bang, to the usual notices, information evenings and business that we do so well at Emanuel School.
In the information evenings to senior students this week, I have outlined the need to start engaging with careers external sources to help get some ideas, trigger some thinking and start the planning process.
Two great resources that we have at school are subscriptions to:
- StudyWorkGrow (register with “emanuel” password – small e)
- Jobjump (register here “EMS0219” password)
Please set yourself up with these subscriptions for regular interest-based updates.
As detailed in the Information nights, I use lots of links when I am talking with students.
Here are some very helpful sites I use regularly to do research, compare different institutions, find out more about the job outlook. There are also some quizzes at the end:

Parents – it would be a great idea if you subscribed to updates from UAC (University Admissions Centre) – who give reminders for closing dates, and a variety of schemes they administer. If you click here you can enter in your details and keep track.
Here are helpful links for students/parents from UAC about Dropping HSC Courses in Year 11 and HSC Subject Selection in Year 10.
I look forward to working with parents and students to pursue their own personal career goals.
