Years 7 - 9
During Weeks 5-8, Years 8 & 9 students will commence their Careers Action Plan. A career action plan is a dynamic planning document, owned and managed by a student. Creating a plan is a process of self-reflection and goal setting. The plan helps students:
- Consider their motivations and strengths
- Choose their goals
- Clarify the actions needed to achieve these goals
- Commit to participating in the planned activities.
Annual planning creates continuity through student's career development in secondary school. This helps them develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes and confidence they need to make informed decisions and effectively manage subject selections through secondary school.
Year 9
Geelong Tertiary futures Program
During Week 4, Year 9 students will commence planning for the Geelong Tertiary futures Program run by The Gordon TAFE
GTFP is an exciting initiative that engages Year 9 students in education by providing an in-depth preview of a broad range of tertiary studies. The program is delivered by The Gordon TAFE in partnership with Geelong Secondary Schools. The flagship program is now widely recognised as an example of good VET pathways delivery and engagement and the Career Previews remain highly successful, with high engagement and positive feedback from both students and teachers. Students will visit The Gordon Tafe semester to complete five taster sessions.
Morrisby Profile
During Week 6, students will commence the Morrisby Profile. The Morrisby combines questionnaires and psychometric assessments with a rich library of careers and course information. The platform helps students understand their strengths, interests, priorities and personality, and uses these results to generate personalised career and subject suggestions.
