PATHWAYS REPORT
The Pathways Team have had a busy start to 2023. Working our way through Year 12 and Year 11 Career Meetings, where each individual student is met with to discuss their future plans. Our doors are always open and we welcome students to make contact with us if they have any questions. With many Open Days for tertiary institutions coming up over the Winter months it’s a great time to start putting some dates in your diaries.
Applications for the La Trobe ASPIRE program are also now open and we encourage all Year 12’s to apply, even if they aren’t looking at going to La Trobe Uni. To apply for the Aspire Community Contribution program, students need to write two 100-word statements explaining their involvement and impact. We like to keep it simple, so they just need to tell La Trobe what they’ve done and how they’ve helped. Examples of Aspire students’ contributions include:
- fundraising for charity
- coaching a sports team or volunteering at the club
- helping with care or nursing at home
- volunteering for an organisation and much more.
To apply go to Aspire Early Entry Program | La Trobe University www.latrobe.edu.au/study/aspire
Our Year 9 students completed their Morrisby online Profiling in Term 1, with their complimentary interviews with a Career Practitioner early Term 2. These individual interviews were helpful for students to understand the results that they got from Morrisby and look towards their future subject selections and pathways.
Work is currently underway for our upcoming Pathways Days for Years 9 – 12, where external organisations have been invited to come and share with our students in preparation for subject selections, future careers, further study and other pathways options.
