Careers
Claire Pech – Careers Advisor
Thank you to all students and parents who took part in the Careers Avenues assessment debriefs this week. The feedback has been extremely positive and we would love to hear more both from students and parents at the following feedback link, especially as this will feed into how we do things at Emanuel School:

Year 11
I would encourage students in these holidays to start having a look around at the huge variety of sites, dedicated to Careers. Some of these that we already have paid subscriptions to are:
https://www.jobjump.com.au/ You can register for this account now using the password “emanuel” with a small “e”.
https://joboutlook.gov.au/ This is a great government website looking at future growth and industry outlooks.
https://studyworkgrow.com.au/ you can set up an account with this as we have a full subscription. The password to log in is “EMS0219”.
https://www.careeravenues.com.au set yourself up with an account here and check out the Career Snapshots tab at the bottom of the screen. These are great interactive posters to show you where a love of a HSC subject can take you.
Year 11 is a good time to start the process of asking around, talking to friends and relatives about what they do and start the research process. Leaving it all until Year 12 can sometimes bring about unnecessary stress.
Year 12
As all of Year 12 now know, ANU is now open and ready for business and courses must be applied for during the months of April and May. If you are even remotely interested in ANU, I would set up an account and apply, as it is a free process, and if you leave it after May, you may be disappointed. Remember also that you have to show a co-curricular commitment.

UAC is also open and ready for the early offer rounds, but as we know and have discussed, the early offers come with many conditions attached. For more information these can be researched at https://www.uac.edu.au/future-applicants/scholarships-and-schemes/schools-recommendation-schemes. Also please remember just because UAC is now open for business does not mean students need to be ready to apply. We will take the usual course, and start our application process in August – December.
All the best for a restful break. Student appointments for next term can be booked in at https://calendly.com/clairepechcareers
