Vocational Testing

The Careers Centre has a range of vocational assessment tools, which may be used by students.

Optional aptitude testing is also available for Years 10-12 students.

• Job Guide Job Guide has in-depth information about 500 entry-level occupations. In particular it explains the education and training pathways that lead to each job. This can help young people to determine what jobs might suit them. The guide is available at www.jobguide.deewr.gov.au
• CourseLink This program is available on the VTAC website www.vtac.edu.au. It allows students to input their VCE studies and generate a list of eligible tertiary courses for which they can apply.

Individual Careers Appointments

The Careers Advisor counsels all Year 12 students individually. Students may make appointments at any time of the year, usually during a study period, so as not to impinge on class time. All Year 10 students and their parents are invited to make a Careers Appointment during term 2. Year 11 students are also encouraged to make individual appointments.
