Pathways Planning

At Kilbreda, we engage students and families in the pathways planning process and provide multiple opportunities for exploration of careers and future endeavours. Currently, all Year 10 students are attending a facilitated discussion with the Careers Coordinator, Mrs Laura Lunardi, to discuss their interests and possible pathways. This will be followed by Futures Week in the concluding week of this term, where students will experience subject tasters and visit tertiary institutions and explore aspects of the workforce.

I encourage all families with students heading into the senior years to save the following dates in their calendars:

• Thursday 20 July – Pathways Expo 6.00pm to 8.30pm
• Monday 21 August – Careers Expo 6.00pm to 8.00pm

These two events are a wonderful opportunity to partner with the College and support your child in their educational journey. We look forward to seeing you there.
