The first step for the majority of Scotch College students is choosing a course that interests them. The aim is to facilitate a boy's knowledge of career appointments and to make them more aware of their interests and abilities, so they are well equipped to make the transition from school to further study and the workplace. The success of the programme depends to a large extent on the support of parents throughout the school. Parents are a valuable resource and their assistance is important to maintain and extend services provided. Any parent who thinks that they may be able to make a contribution to Careers Night, the Mock Interview Program or Work Experience is encouraged to contact the Careers Department.
Work experience Conducted during the year and can include term holidays.
Work experience is not legally permitted during the end of year summer holiday. It is the students' responsibility to organise a work experience placement. The Careers Department can offer advice on how to apply for work experience. From 2001 all Year 10 students will complete a week of work experience. The first week of Term 3 has been allocated for this purpose.
