Each student will have their own individual pathway in their life after school, however while at school we aim to support students to consider the range of opportunities they can explore in making decisions about their next steps.
On this page you can access a range of information about career decisions, ATAR, QTAC, alternative entry pathways, future jobs, subject selections, life resources and community supports.
Our school subscribes to Options Career Information, a company that produces current and timely career information for parents and students. Access to the Options App is through the App Store or Google Play. The App gives you easy access to relevant career information any place, any time. Upload the Options App onto your smart phone and use your school's unique school access code to sign in (please see the relevant school email for this) .
