How to book a Careers Appointment

Senior College students are encouraged to access the Careers Bookings Calendar and manage their own careers appointments, including inviting parents to join a meeting, either in person or via zoom.  Simply select the type of career related appointment you would like and as courtesy ensure you check with your teacher that it is OK before you miss all or part of a lesson when you make a booking.
