Careers

The joy we receive as Career Practitioners is the personalised nature of our roles in supporting informed student decision making. This year, being online for much of the year saw us re-imagine our annual VCE Careers Breakfast as an online evening event. We invited several of our incredible Old Girls to share their stories with the Years 7 to 12 students. The event was a remarkable showcase of engaging women from all over Australia and abroad and it informed and inspired our current students in opportunities that lay ahead for them. Throughout the year we also worked closely with the Year 12 cohort, providing advice on transition from School, supported our Year 11s as they embarked on VCE studies and dedicated extensive time with the Year 10 cohort, profiling aptitudes and introducing VTAC Courselink and our new program in the Careers Department, ensuring this Cohort is in a solid position to understand their career pathways and course options for the future. In 2021, 22 students undertook VET courses, and we supported students interested in studying school-based traineeships and those looking to move interstate or overseas to study. A number of our Year 12 students have also already received early offers, some with Scholarships, to study in 2022. We wish all St Catherine’s students the very best in 2022 and their futures ahead.
