Careers
It was unfortunate that we were unable to hold our exciting Careers Expo this week, hopefully another date will be set in the future. It is important now, for senior students who are not sure about their Career direction to come in and see Mr Hall or myself as the year is very quickly coming to an end and university enrollments are open. If are not planing on living at home next year, while you are studying, you need to have applied for a hall of residence. Year 11 and 12, please discuss your subject selection for next year with your teachers and if you need further guidance, please come over to the Careers office in the COE. We look for to seeing you.
