Careers Education at The Grange P12 College

The college offers a comprehensive Careers Education program across prep to Year 12.

The college has two experienced Careers Education practitioners, Ms Sarah Papadopoulos and Mr Richard Towers.

The college offers a comprehensive Careers Education program encompassing curriculum and co -curricular programs across prep to Year 12, one to one and group counselling of secondary students and a well - resourced careers centre.

Work Experience is offered to Year 10 students during term 2 each year.  Students are encouraged to seek their own Work experience with a preferred employer.  Students commence their preparation for Work Experience while in Year 9, giving them plenty of scope to find an employer in a career area of their choice.

Managed Individual Pathway Plans

Each student from Years 7 to 10 completes a Managed Individual Pathways (MIPs) plan.  The plan provides an opportunity for students to reflect on their Career and pathway interests and reflect on their school experience.

Year 10 Transition Program

All Year 10s participate in a rigorous transition program as part of preparation for making choices about preferred courses and subjects for study in Year 11.

Features of the program include a unit of study in Careers Education as part of Year 10 Humanities, Work Experience, a transition interview that provides students with an opportunity to reflect on their progress in Year 10, a MIP’s interview and a course counselling interview.  A  program of guest speakers including former students and representatives from university and TAFEs is included.

Year 11 and 12 Transition planning

Year 11 and 12 students participate in a comprehensive career and pathways planning program to ensure they are  well prepared and organised for making a smooth transition to further education, training or employment in the year  following  their Year 12 studies.  Students update their MIPs plans each year and work through their careers pathway ideas.  Students are encouraged to think deeply and strategically in order to ensure that desired career goals are achieved. 

Each year our graduating Year 12 students are successful in achieving entry to programs at a range of university and TAFE programs across Melbourne.
