During term three, the support for Year 10 students ramps up as GSSC delivers its annual Subject Selection and Course Counselling program.
GSSC senior secondary and careers assistant principal Zarina Fleming said over the past term, Year 10 students had been working in their Pathway Mentoring class, learning about vocational pathways, course requirements and subject choices for Year 11.
“Over the holidays, the students have also had the opportunity to go through the Senior Secondary Handbook and have conversations with their families about their future career aspirations and goals and what they’d like to achieve in their final two years of secondary school,” Ms Fleming said.
“Bringing parents into this process is key — our families know their child’s passions, strengths, and interests, and this helps to guide and support our young people as they plan their senior secondary schooling at GSSC.”
Earlier this term, GSSC hosted a parent information session, centred around the Subject Selection and Careers Counselling program, which kicks off on Monday, July 29.
“Across two days, our Year 10 students have the opportunity to make an appointment to come into the college with their parent or guardian and meet with one of our qualified careers practitioners to discuss their future career goals and subject options for Years 11 and 12,” Ms Fleming said.
“These decisions are so important, which is why we prioritise our Year 10 students for this individualised support and dedicate this time at school to ensure all students have all the information needed to make informed decisions.”
Appointments for July 29 and 30 can be made via Try Booking. A link has been sent out to families via Compass.
