We introduce careers-focused learning as early as Year 7 all the way through to Year 11, fostering aspirational young people prepared for the world of work. We achieve this through exploring student’s interests, imparting employability skills, and hosting guest speakers to spark student’s future aspirations. For more detail regarding our curriculum, and for up to date careers information, please see below.

Volunteering & Virtual/in-person Work Experience Opportunities – Please Read
We regularly share information about volunteering, virtual and in-person work experience opportunities that may be of interest to students. These are often provided by external organisations or former students, and we pass them on in good faith to help broaden awareness of what’s available.
However, please note the following:
  • We are not affiliated with these organisations or events.
  • We do not have direct experience with all companies/opportunities shared.
  • While we aim to share opportunities that appear beneficial, we are not able to conduct in-depth vetting of every organisation or event.
It is therefore the responsibility of students and their parents/carers to review the details, assess the suitability, and ensure the opportunity is appropriate for the student.
We encourage families to explore these options together and contact the organisers directly with any questions.
If you wish to attend a virtual talk, virtual or in-person work experience during school hours, you must obtain permission from the school and inform Miss Granger as certain paperwork may be required. Permission is based on several factors and is not guaranteed.
Thank you for your continued support.
