Welcome back to all the students after a nice long break, I am looking forward to having some interesting career conversations with everyone this year.

As we launch our career classes for 2019, I have shared some important documents that you will need to get you going. Here are links that can help at any stage:

1. Year 12 guest speaker schedule: docs.google.com/document/d/1ijcmfZt_mbEOOiD8vlsQHDgnlnk5pmzht2CkOJnlqNM/edit?usp=sharing
2. Terminology PowerPoint: docs.google.com/presentation/d/1PV5TU1DfnOIpffTLaguLjY6H3G4ir3Zexho995cTjB0/edit?usp=sharing
3. www.jobjump.com.au (any Year Group) please make sure you have registered with this site to get all of your interest-specific career and University information sent directly to you

This year we see a range of interests and diversity within our Year 12 cohort, and it is interesting to note where the Year 12 group are up to, in terms of their career-readiness.

I encourage anyone in Year 12 who feels they are unsure about what to do next to book in a time to see me. Now is also a great time to remind students in particular for Year 12, that not many people at the age of 18 have all of the answers. The statistic for students changing courses after 1^st year at university is now 25%, as the course was not what they expected. It is great to have a few ideas, and be open to the idea of being flexible with some of your plans.

Parents are more than welcome also. Feel free to contact me at cpech@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au.
