Careers Program
At Kingswood College, we take immense pride in supporting the career planning and journey of our secondary students.
Careers Program in Secondary School
At Kingswood College, all Middle and Senior students participate in workshops, presentations, and excursions designed to ignite career curiosity and provide essential skills like resume writing and job hunting. These experiences broaden their understanding of future opportunities.
As students progress into Senior School, they receive tailored support in selecting and adjusting subjects and navigating the university and TAFE application process. Individualised sessions guide them through VTAC registration, applications, and offer periods, ensuring they make informed choices.
Year 10 students attend a fortnightly “Futures” class, exploring career paths, labour market trends, work experience planning, and VCE and post-secondary options. They also complete the Morrisby Careers Assessment, an aptitude test that identifies strengths, interests, and personality traits, aligning them with potential career paths. Results are reviewed in a group session with a Morrisby-certified practitioner, with additional support for parents through webinars.
Guided by the VCAA Career Education Framework, our approach emphasises helping each student discover their unique path, fostering self-awareness, exploring diverse options, and developing a personalised plan for their future.
