YEAR 9 

Our first formal Careers Education lessons are introduced in Year 9. Once a fortnight, students are guided through learning opportunities to build strong foundational skills to enhance outcomes for when they transition from our school. 

THE BASICS

Students acquire information and skills to build a solid foundation to enhance school transition outcomes. What types of IDs are there? Do I need a USI? Why do I need a TFN? How do I compose a professional email? How do I set career goals? 

WERK. WERK. WERK.

THE RESUME

During Term 2 our Year 9 cohort are taken through the process of creating a resume. With a focus on the highly sort after employability skills of digital literacy & resilience students walk away with a resume ready to submit to an employer. 

VOLUNTEERING

What's the difference between an SBAT, Apprenticeship, Traineeship & Cadetship...actually, what even is an SBAT? An investigation into the world of getting paid to study and work is our focus this term. Upon completion will have enhanced their employability skills in, digital resilience and digital literacy and problem solving.

How can I get employability skills without a job? How do I build a network so I can get a job? VOLUNTEER! In our final term of the year we explore volunteering and the benefits it can hold for future options. Students undertake a group project which culminates in an event aimed to develop confidence, creativity and communication.
