The Leaving School Magazine, is an invaluable and free guide to study and careers options for high school students, Years 12-13. It is a great tool for helping students to prepare for life after school, whether they go on to further study, start an apprenticeship or join the workforce.

Darfield High School students along with Whānau and friends made the most of their opportunity to engage with 25+ tertiary education and vocational providers from around New Zealand at the annual DHS Careers Expo on Tuesday, 03 May 2022. It was great to have some exciting new providers on board this year, including Fonterra and Road Metals, all helping to offer a range of learning opportunities that have encouraged our students to broaden their minds and think beyond the obvious about their futures and how they can acquire experience, qualifications and scholarships.
