The transition and pathways lessons for Years 7 to 10 were delivered last week. The learning objective was to help students recognise and navigate their journey of personal discovery. Specifically, the understanding and appreciation of how one's interests, strengths and purpose align with the world of work. I would like to thank Mr Dribbus and Ms Janson for sharing their journey into the teaching profession. Through sharing their experiences, students were taught how discovering your “purpose” can lead to an enjoyable and fulfilling career.

Unlike previous years, students will not select their timetables at this stage.
