The Careers Office is located in the Senior Student Building (D-Block) and offers students and parents careers counselling, pathway planning and course information from Universities, TAFE Colleges and Private Providers. Careers can also provide computer assisted career guidance testing.
We coordinate Vocational Education & Training in Schools (VETiS), Year 10 Work Experience and VCAL Structured Work Place Learning, as well as the compulsory WorkSafe tests.
We have an extensive range of information on Apprenticeships, Traineeships, and employment opportunities. We provide students with study strategies, interview skills and assist them with Tertiary applications as they near the completion of their Year 12 certificates. All students can also obtain a Tax File Number through our office.
Our office is always open for students before and after school, recess and lunchtime. Parents are more than welcome to attend interviews with their child. Please contact Mr Alan Feher for an appointment on 97077621.
