Making a Careers Appointment

  Senior College students can now access the Careers Bookings Calendar and manage their own careers appointment, 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 a courtesy ensure you check with your teacher before you miss all or part of lesson before you make a booking.

It is recommended that current Year 12 students schedule an appointment across this term to ensure they have sufficient time to work through their QTAC applications, which will open on the 1st August 2024.
