Pathways Department Term One

Year 13 students are in the process of completing their C.V's along with setting up their Real Me identification which is needed to apply for StudyLink (a student loan and/or allowances).

A small group of students attended the Careers in Trucking expo on 13th March in Christchurch and found out about a range of different pathway options, including mechanics, logistics, engineering, driving, health and safety, logistics, dispatch and service technicians.
