Career Guidance and Subject Selection for Year 10’s – Term 2 and 3

Year 10 is an exciting time, but with it comes some big decisions. You’ll have the freedom to choose which subjects to study in Years 11 and 12. And while the idea of choosing your subjects is great, the pressure can also feel huge. 

First, take a breath – it’s OK if you don’t know what career you want yet. You still have plenty of time to decide and plan for your post-school options and pathways.

For our Year 10 students we start Term 2 with exploring Career Clusters during Week 1 and 2 of your Personal Development subject. Students and their Parent are then encouraged to book in for a Senior Education Training Plan (SET) consultation between week 3-9 to discuss the results of the Career Clusters Quiz and start exploring individual students’ values, interest and strengths and the importance of knowing yourself when it comes to selecting senior subjects and exploring future pathways.  This is followed by the Year 11 Subject Expo in Week 1 of Term 3 to help you take a deeper dive into subjects offered at PLC and the different external study offerings that might form part of your Senior plan.

More tips to help our Year 10 student with subject selections will be provided across next term.

Have a safe and happy Easter break.

Mrs Veronica Sanmarco, Head of Career Development
