What a wonderful end to 2024

On 23 December 2024, our 2024 Year 12 students waited anxiously to receive an offer to study at University/TAFE in 2025. I was similarly anxious to find out what wonderful pathways our students would be pursuing.

In 2024, 89 of our students applied for further study (University or TAFE). Of those students (eligible for an offer), I am pleased to advise that 100% were successful in securing a place at University or TAFE. What a wonderful outcome. Congratulations to the Class of 2024.

Over the next few weeks, I will share some of the wonderful outcomes our students have achieved (via the newsletter).

Busy start to Term 1

It has been a very busy start to 2025, in regards to careers.

In Week 3, one on one career pathway ‘check ins’ commenced with our 2025 Year 12 cohort. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss 2026 plans. This information enables the school to provide targeted support to ensure our students achieve their career (and life) goals.

In addition, we ran an Information Session for Year 10 students and their parents/guardians (Understanding your Child’s Morrisby Profile) on Thursday 6 February.

The focus of this session was to ‘unpack’ student Morrisby results and to similarly provide tips to support parents with engaging in positive career discussions in the home. Tyson Day (Arrive and Thrive) shared a wonderful resource that can support parents/guardians to have meaningful conversations with their young person. I would encourage students and parents/guardians of all secondary students to utilise this wonderful ‘Career Convo Dinner Menu’ resource.
