Seymour is committed to an extensive Careers Education program. From Year 10 onwards, students are encouraged to discover as much as they can about vocations of interest to them. As part of the Personal Learning Plan, students develop knowledge of the workplace and its current issues, career self knowledge, occupational investigation and workplace transition skills.
Towards the end of Year 10, students spend at least one week on work experience in the wider community, and are responsible for arranging this with the help of our Careers Counsellor.
In Years 11 and 12, students are encouraged to seek further work experience during vacations. All Year 12 students have individual appointments with the Careers Counsellor to discuss their tertiary or vocational aspirations, and all students are guided through the tertiary application process.
At Seymour, students not only master the career management skills required to find and maintain a fulfilling tertiary pathway and future employment, they are also assisted to become confident and creative young women who embrace opportunities, make rational and informed decisions about their own lives, accepting responsibility for their actions, and have the knowledge, skills, understanding and values to establish and maintain healthy, satisfying lives.
