On Monday the 17th February, 60 Year 12 students attended The University of Wollongong (UOW) annual Discovery Days at the Wollongong campus. This event offers Year 12 students a firsthand experience of university life, allowing them to attend lectures, navigate the campus, and engage in social activities. Students expressed that the day was informative and provided practical insights into university life.

Magdalene Year 10 Careers Day: A Valuable Step in Career Planning

Magdalene Catholic College’s Year 10 Careers Day is set to be an insightful and engaging event, providing students with crucial guidance as they begin planning their future pathways. The day will feature a range of industry connections and career-related workshops, designed to equip students with practical knowledge and inspiration for their journey beyond school.

A highlight of the event will be the contributions from Magdalene Alumni, who will share their diverse career experiences. These stories will demonstrate the many varied pathways available to finding a fulfilling profession, helping students understand that success can be achieved in multiple ways.

Students are reminded to wear their full academic uniform and bring a fully charged laptop, along with a pen and paper, for note-taking during the workshops. Lunch will be provided, so students only need to bring their recess. Any dietary requirements must be communicated to Mrs. Dallene Jones before the 24th of February.

This Careers Day is a valuable opportunity for students to explore potential career paths, gain industry insights, and be inspired by those who have walked this path before them. It marks an important step in their career planning and future aspirations.
