Career Goals and Planning

Welcome back to the 2017 school year. To those students entering or continuing in the senior phase, I look forward to working closely with you and your family this year with an emphasis on Quality, A Focus For Life.

As the school year begins and learning goals are set within study areas, it is worth reflecting on previous or new career goals and the actions that you may need to take this year to extend your career development. This may involve raising your self-awareness; taking up opportunities within the College or beyond including work experience or work shadowing experiences in career areas of interest or accepting opportunities which lead to your own personal development; it may be focusing on decision making or taking actions to make informed decisions such as visiting career expos, tertiary open days or information sessions. Make a commitment to yourself to take that first or next step.

If you haven’t already visited the Pacific Lutheran College Careers website, I encourage you to take a moment to have a quick look: http://www.pacificlutherancareers.com/. It provides a central location for information about the senior phase and post-school options, many links to a range of areas, a calendar of events (set alerts to have them emailed to you weekly) and a secure student section for career planning.

I look forward to seeing you all at the upcoming Information Evenings.

Mrs Natasha Purcell, Careers Counsellor
