On Thursday 18 June Year 10 students travelled to Sydney Olympic Park to visit many of the one hundred and twenty exhibitors at the Western Sydney Careers Expo.
Students spent time walking through exhibitor stalls and speaking to various course providers about career paths and opportunities. Universities, TAFEs, the Australian Defence Force and numerous private colleges representing the arts, music, information technology and hospitality industries were visited.
Students also had the opportunity to sit and listen to seminar talks including those given by the Universities Admissions Centre, the Mathematics Association of NSW and the Academy of Interactive Entertainment.
Following this excursion, on Friday 19 June, the school held its first Careers Forum in the San Damiano Centre. The purpose of this day was to expand the thinking of the students about careers and career pathways. Students were divided into small groups and rotated between five presentations during the forum. The presentations were led by Australian Catholic University lecturers and current students, as well as a lecturer from the University of Western Sydney.
Students gained information on Business, Law and Health Science degrees, along with VET options and transitions and support provided in tertiary education and employment. Overall, both days were highly beneficial in providing relevant and timely information to the students that could be used to assist in their subject choices for Years 11 and 12.

"Did you know your values can help shape your future career? On 27 February, Mrs Karafotias organised the Year 10 UNSW Gateway workshop. This was an inspiring way to explore how students' personal values can guide them to future careers and degrees. Through thoughtful discussions with current UNSW Gateway Ambassadors, students explored their personal values and learned how values can connect them to potential career paths and study options. The UNSW Ambassadors shared their own educational journeys from high school to UNSW, encouraging Year 10s to remain open to various pathways for the future. As a UNSW Gateway Partner School, our students benefit from in-school workshops, on-campus experience days, HSC support, and the opportunity to apply for early entry to UNSW with an adjusted ATAR requirement. For more information, visit UNSW Gateway. Thank you to Mr Azzopardi and Mr Mate for immersing themselves in the sessions with Year 10.

It was wonderful to see their creativity and faith expressed through their artwork, as they reflected on what inspires them and how they see God in their lives. We look forward to seeing this new initiative continue to grow and provide students with a space for connection, creativity and faith. โจ๐จ
