Year 10 University Discovery Day
On Tuesday, 30 April, the Year 10 cohort travelled to the Toowoomba campus of the University of Southern Queensland to attend a careers discovery day. On arrival, the students attended a 40-minute lesson on Career Education and the predicted types of future careers they may work in. Following this session, the students attended three separate sessions each highlighting different professions which gave them an insight into that particular professions as a career. The students chose from 28 different professions including areas in aviation, agriculture, the arts, criminology, technologies, science, health, education, and film making, just to name a few. The students enjoyed an active and engaging day and it was encouraging to hear from them on how this day assisted them in thinking about a future career.
