From 16-21 May it was Careers Week — a time to celebrate the jobs we have and consider the careers our students might enter in the future. On Monday 17 May, the Future Students Coordinator from Australian Catholic University (ACU), Mr Dave Plant, came to the College to talk to our Year 11 and Year 12 students about the ACU Guarantee. It is a great pathway into ACU and students can get early offers into ACU, as early as June.
On Wednesday 19 May, our Year 9 students completed Morrisby testing. Morrisby is a Careers Tool that will help students to learn about their own skills and abilities and help them with their pathway planning. This is a very exciting part of the FutureME component of the Year 9 Compass program.
On Thursday 20 May, Old Collegian Associate Professor Amanda Scardamaglia (Class of 2000), who is the Department Chair of the Swinburne Law School, came to talk to our students about pathways in Law and the Law School. The students played interactive games that were designed by Swinburne. Amanda was also recently a guest speaker at the Old Collegians’ Association’s annual Business Breakfast.
Each day this week our students also had access to new videos about the future of work and careers via the MLMC Careers Website as well as information about career pathways they may not yet have considered.
