Career Pathways
Senior Students have a growing interest in their future career pathways. They are increasingly aware of the world outside school. For some this means preparation for work or work-specific training, and for others it means preparation for post-compulsory schooling. As a result the College caters for all students by running different options tailored to specific needs.
9 – 12 students interested in targeted areas can visit
