Gateway Update

The year has started well in Gateway with students completing a First Aid certificate and a one day Health and Safety course. Gateway planning for students to go out on work experience is underway. This will be followed by students being taken to their placement to meet with their prospective boss and discuss the details of their work experience.

Term one is a busy time for students with tertiary providers visiting to talk with our seniors about the courses they offer. This started off with Otago Polytechnic's visit at the end of February, then Otago University, the University of Canterbury and we look forward to Lincoln University and Ara's upcoming visits.Year 13 have started their Career Pathway planning meetings. These are held with the Careers Advisor where students outline their goals for the year and discuss their plans for the following year.Geraldine High School has a new Career Wise website to keep students up to date with various career related resources and information. This includes scholarship information, Defence Force activities for students, career events and job opportunities.

Two of our senior students have been selected to attend a Defence Force 2 day experience at the end of the month. Congratulations to Koefi Brown and Ryan Millar. This will be a wonderful experience for them.
