From Wednesday to Friday this week, Year 10 students have been attending their Careers Intensive Week which has been organised by our College Careers Practitioner, Mrs Baxter. The students have been exposed to a wide variety of information sessions around careers, career pathways, the workplace and personal character strengths. On Wednesday, the students were given the chance to participate in the 'Myer Briggs Personality Test' and the 'My Future Career Inventory Test', both of which gave the students an invaluable insight into what careers might suit them. Many students came away with some interesting 'results' and lots to think about. Students also enjoyed a Zoom presentation from University of Southern Queensland's Student Liaison Officers, Anita and Fraser who gave the students loads of information about USQ as a uni option. During the presentation, the students particited in some Kahoot quizzes on USQ facts and figures.

On Thursday, the students welcomed staff from Toowoomba Catholic Schools Office, Karen Coulston and Karen White to talk about School Based Traineeships and Apprenticeships and then were presented to by Elaine Wallace from TAFE Queensland.  

Mr Cuskelly will be presenting to the students on how to write a resume on Friday as well as Mrs Baxter and Mr Hodge on QCE abd subject selection plus Jodie Brookes from Griffith University will be doing another Zoom session on Future Proofing. The feedback from the students has been that this Careers Intensive Program has been really interesting and inforamtive so far and we hope to include this format for careers into the future for both Year 9 and Year 10 students.
