Thrive Week – Senior School Term 2 Week 10 – Thursday 4th July and Friday 5th July
The Senior School is very excited to be offering our young people the opportunity to engage in Thrive Week.
Thrive will be held in Week 10 of Term 2, Thursday 4th July and Friday 5th July.
The goals for Thrive Week are for our young people to:
- Feel more confident in making career decisions, in particular in regards to training and employment options.
- Have created their Career Action Plan which can be used in Term 3 to inform and support decisions during the Term 3 Subject Selection Process.
- To have multiple opportunities to explore their aspirations through access to industry panels, interactive workshops and a career expo.
On these two days we will not be running normal lessons, instead we have organised for a range of Tertiary Institutions and training providers to present and work with our young people.
