Welcome from the Careers Team!
We are excited to welcome Ms Charli Bartlett to the Careers team this year. With this addition to our team, we will be able to offer even more support, opportunities and personalised guidance for our students. We are looking forward to working closely with students and families throughout 2026, providing tailored career counselling to help students make confident, informed decisions about their future pathways. Our career education programs run across all year levels, ensuring every student is supported as they explore, plan and grow.
Year 7 and 8
This year there will be a Careers team member based at the Junior Campus 1–2 days every week, working directly with our Year 7 and 8 students. Also, students are encouraged to drop by the Junior School Library every Tuesday lunchtime for career-based activities.
Year 9
Year 9 students completed their Morrisby profile last week and will soon be given individual support from an accredited counsellor to unpack the results. The profile helps students identify their interests and strengths and is a valuable tool for pathway planning.
Year 10
Work experience is a valuable opportunity for Year 10 students to gain insight into the world of work and understand the expectations of the workplace. It is a chance for students to develop skills, knowledge, and experience that will benefit them in their future careers. Work Experience placements will take place during the week of 22 June – 26 June 2026.
Year 11
Year 11 students completed their “Mapping Your Journey” last week, an exploration of career and occupations. Last week they went to Deakin University as part of their program. In May, students will spend the day at the VCE and Careers Expo which is Australia’s biggest education and careers event.
Year 12
The Careers team is available to help students plan their 2026 destination and beyond. This could be apprenticeships, gap years, employment, or for many students, university. Book an appointment.
Careers have a wide range of resources for students, including a regular newsletter packed full of up-to-date information.
