Career Development Week: Inspiring Futures for Students

In the last week of Term One, our school was buzzing with excitement as students in Years 7, 8 and 9 took their first steps toward future career success.

For our Year 9 students, the First Steps to Senior program was an incredible opportunity to explore career possibilities through workshop rotations. By engaging in a variety of activities, students developed essential skills and learned more about the pathways available to them as they prepare for their senior years. The program encouraged students to consider their aspirations and the steps needed to achieve them.

Meanwhile, our Year 8 students participated in a dynamic off-campus experience, travelling to the LEVEL UP Career Expo at the PCYC. This special event, organised by the Country University Centre Maranoa with support from Griffith University, UniSC, UniSQ, and QUT, offered structured activities designed to help students explore different career options, university pathways, and future employment trends. With interactive sessions and firsthand advice from professionals, students left inspired and better informed about the possibilities ahead.

Year 7 students attended a workshop conducted by UniSQ, where they explored their characteristics, strengths, and values, and how these relate to a career. Students utilised the activities to write their own personal career statements.

All three programs offered valuable opportunities for students to explore career interests, connect with experts, and build confidence in their future direction. A huge thank you to our staff, guest speakers, and university partners who contributed to making this week a success!

We can't wait to see how our students continue to build on what they've learned.
