University and Careers

We enjoyed meeting with our Class of 2023 at their Year Group meeting this week and getting them started on planning and preparing for their post-school journeys. Parents, carers and students were emailed a copy of the Career Information booklet which contains a summary of the key information relevant to Yr 12.
 
Please see the Careers Pulse page for information on events, pathways and universities. This week we are highlighting the following:
