Careers Newsletter Edition 8,8 June 2018

From the Head of Careers

As the end of Semester 2 is upon us in Careers, we now turn some of our energies to subject selection for next term! As part of our program, students will select electives in younger year levels and Years 10 and 11 students

will be looking at their full suite of VCE subjects to select. An exciting time but one that requires some thought and planning!

This week an article was published in the Sydney Times and it is well worth a read by parents and students alike. There are so many myths and legends around the ATAR, subjects, ranking and more that they become a tad daunting at times.

Here at St Paul’s, we have always counselled that students should select subjects they enjoy, are good at and that will lead them to future options. This article debunks some

of the uncertainty around ATAR calculations and what is important for students to consider. Although it refers to NSW, the process is virtually the same in Victoria and so is relevant for our students.

I encourage you to take time and peruse the article at the link below!

This will be the last newsletter for this term, in it are some wonderful June and July activities on offer for various aged students. To those on Work Experience – enjoy and make the most of finding out about work outside school!
