23 SEPT 2025 Careers Update

VTAC Interviews & Support

All Year 12 students have had conversations with the Careers Department, with many students applying for courses in 2026, some students have apprenticeships already lined up and a few are taking a gap year to consider their options. We look forward to working with students who may need some support during Change of Preference when VCE results are release in December - more details to follow.

Year 10 Work Experience

Many students have been proactive in finding and completing work experience this year. If this is something your child would still like to do, it's not too late. The arrangement form must be completed at least one week prior to their date so all parties can sign their sections (Work Experience will not be approved for weeks 3 Nov - 14 November due to examinations and week of 24 November due to 2026 PreStart).

Any Year 9 student wanting to complete Work Experience in 2026, start applying NOW! Most of the best spots are filled in the October and November the year prior.

Year 9 - Explore Your Future Options

Once again, Year 9 students will have the opportunity towards the end of Term 4 to discover a range of tertiary institutes across Melbourne. This is a great opportunity for students to visit campuses and see what Universities and TAFE offer course and facility wise. The dates are Monday 1 and Tuesday 2 December - more details will be sent home in Term 4, with permission approval required.
