National Careers Week

This week is National Careers Week, a nationwide initiative dedicated to promoting career education, guidance and opportunities across Australia. It’s a great time to engage in career conversations with your child – explore their interests, current options they may be considering about their future, their favourite subjects or things they feel strongly about.

Parents play an influential role in helping their children make career choices. Please click here if you wish to read more about how to approach career conversations with your child.

University Open Days 2025 

Students who are interested in a university pathway are strongly encouraged to attend Tertiary Open Days. There's no perfect university that works for everyone. The "best" university is the one that's right for you - your goals, your learning style, and your interests.

Open days are your chance to go beyond the glossy prospectuses and Instagram-worthy campus shots to explore the campus, meet current students and staff, and get a real feel for what studying at a particular institution might be like.
