Year 10 Careers Testing and Interviews

For the second year running, the P&F Careers Centre ran comprehensive testing with all boys in Year 10. The incorporated aptitude testing and vocational interest profiling was aimed at producing a detailed report for each boy. Boys and many parents were then interviewed by trained Careers Counsellors who helped to interpret the report and guide the boys through the process. Feedback from boys and parents has been excellent and most agree that this is a great way to start the conversation about post-school study and career decisions. Having been given some initial guidance in Year 10, boys are encouraged to develop upon the ideas presented and meet with the Head of Careers during Years 11 and 12, to discuss the best possible post-school options for them.

Careers Meetings

Throughout Term 1, many boys in Years 11 and 12 met with the Head of Careers, Mr Simon Pennington. The purpose of these meetings is for the boys to discover which careers are available to them, discuss their personal ambitions and to start thinking about a personalised course of action. We encourage all Year 12 boys, in particular to take up the option of contacting Mr Pennington via email to arrange a time to meet to discuss these options.

Careers Expo

Coming up on Thursday 12 June at 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM is the Careers Expo. All boys in Years 10, 11 and 12 are encouraged to attend the Careers Expo as it is an exciting opportunity to develop ideas about career options and pathways.
