Students will also spend time creating their own personal online career profile and develop their knowledge on career opportunities.

Year 9 – Initially have an inspirational speaker, followed by business and enterprise companies sharing career pathways, also supported by health careers. Year 9 will also spend time creating their own personal online career profile and develop their knowledge on career opportunities.
