Thinking about the future, and having goals and direction, makes a significant difference to the level of engagement young people feel in their learning every day. As part of helping each child to develop their God-given potential, all students and parents have access to our dynamic careers website—a comprehensive resource designed to empower both students and parents as they embark on their career journeys.
Serving as an information hub, the website features a dedicated careers newsletter and a host of other tools and links designed for students exploring career and pathway options. The website offers detailed information on various topics particularly relevant to senior secondary students, including information on VCE, VCE VM, VET subjects, school-based apprenticeships or traineeships, or preparing for applications for university through VTAC.
Beyond school, the website extends its resources to post-school options. Students and families can explore choices such as university, TAFE, job skills courses, gap year options, volunteering programs, and even Bible colleges.
The website also includes a wealth of resources for parents. You’ll find useful links to fact sheets that assist with career conversations at home. Additionally, guides on social media, youth services, and information from the Australian Parent Council help create a solid support system as you navigate important conversations and decisions with your young person.
Within our site, there is a secure section for students to log in and work on individual components of their career journey. This includes developing a career action plan, writing resumes and cover letters, and building a personal e-portfolio.
We regularly update our site with the latest information and resources, so if you have not looked in at the Heathdale careers site for a while, we encourage you to explore these rich tools.
