Claire Pech – Careers Advisor
This week I hosted a Q&A panel for our Year 12s. I wanted to showcase the many opportunities there are out there, and the variety of schools available – not just the mainstream universities. We hosted:
- ICMS (International College of Management Sydney) https://www.icms.edu.au/
- Billy Blue College of Design (Torrens University) https://www.billyblue.edu.au/
- Le Cordon Bleu (Sydney) https://www.cordonbleu.edu/australia/home/en
We heard from Alum and delegates, who are studying at the colleges and also what courses are on offer. A key difference in these schools are their smaller class sizes, their care for their students and the practical element within their courses, including long internships.
Australian Catholic University (ACU)
I also attended, the Careers Advisors Day at Australian Catholic University (ACU). We heard from their Law, Education, and Business faculties, their careers service and also from the Vice Chancellor on the future of education, the ATAR, funding and tertiary education in general.

ACU has grown by almost 100% since 2009 and is now a leading provider of teachers and nurses, with 5-star ratings in graduate employment. I am noticing an increasing move each year with more Emanuel students going to ACU, especially for nursing and teaching.
