The university application dates for 2022 are nearly finalised and can be viewed on the WGC Careers and Transition Department website. The Careers Department calendar has career events and application closing dates and is frequently updated. Students are emailed about all of the opportunities that are available to them and are therefore strongly advised to check their emails and the calendar regularly.

This term the Year 11 wānanga classes are rostered to visit the Careers Department during wānanga times. During these sessions we introduce ourselves, explain what we can do to help them and talk to them about the importance of their subject choices now that they are in the senior school.

Students can also make an individual appointment to see one of us by putting their name in a time slot on the appointment sheets on our office doors. Parents/whānau are most welcome to attend.
