And as we head towards the end of 2024, I would encourage all families to discuss career plans with each other. Our students have so many options to become whatever they wish. Our world is ever changing, and being a lifelong learner who is adaptable is more important than ever. Industry experts are predicting that our current Year 7s will be entering into future jobs that aren't even thought of yet. Being prepared and having the ability to upskill and change will ensure our students can go forward into career pathways that they enjoy and will succeed in.
Finally, I wish all our graduating Year 12 students all the very best in the next stage of their journey - don't be shy, come back and let us know how this next step turns out.
