Greater Shepparton Secondary College’s Careers Team is focused on working with our students to help them identify the right pathway for them – whether that means moving onto further study post Year 12, or seeking employment, an apprenticeship or traineeship.

The Careers Team has been specifically structured to provide the very best support for our students. Each Neighbourhood has its own Careers Hub, staffed by a qualified Careers Practitioner. Susan Barr (Biyala), Greg Bristol (Dharnya) and Dan Watson (Bayuna) are on-hand to provide advice and direction regarding post-school options as well as guide students in the best way to develop their work and employability skills.

Careers Manager, Natasha Boyko is also a qualified Careers Practitioners who works with the Neighbourhood Careers Practitioners, Colleen Wilkinson, Priority Cohorts coordinator and Lisa Kerr, Partnerships Manager to provide additional support.

Each Neighbourhood Careers Hub, located on Level 1, provides a centralised point for students to access information and have conversations with their Careers Practitioner. Students are able to book appointments with their Neighbourhood Careers Practitioner via Teams or email, or can drop by the Careers Hub.

Careers support and subject advice is provided to students across all year levels with careers focussed content included in the curriculum from Year 7. My Career Insights (Morrisby) is a specialist program the Careers Team deliver to Year 9 students. From Year 9 onwards students will also benefit from increased involvement from the Team when selecting their subjects.

The College’s careers website www.gssccareers.com provides valuable resources focusing on workplace safety, post-school options and senior student specific information. The Student Secure Area enables students to complete a Resume, Career Action Plan and a variety of quizzes to identify their skills, strengths and areas of interest.

Students and parents/guardians are also encouraged to follow Greater Shepparton Secondary College Careers on Facebook for access to employment opportunities, available scholarships, courses of interest and much more.

The Pathways Mentor Program has been developed in response to student concerns that indicated they had not been sufficiently exposed to the opportunities available to them when they reached their final years of secondary school.

Focus of the support is on:

  • Course selection
  • Study skills
  • Health and well-being
  • Relationships
  • Gaining work-readiness skills

A central premise of the program is the use of relationships. We seek to take advantage of the sense of trust that develops between the Pathway Mentor and the students they are working with.

The Pathway Mentor Program is held in session 4 each Wednesday. All students in Year 10, Year 11 and Year 12 are involved in the program.

The following provide support and expertise for the Pathways Mentors to carry out their role effectively:

  • The Partnerships Manager (Lisa Kerr)
  • The Careers Manager (Natasha Boyko)
  • The Neighbourhood Careers Practitioners (Susan Barr, Greg Bristol and Dan Watson)
  • The VCE Leader (Felicity Cummins)
  • The Senior Secondary and Careers Assistant Principal (Zarina Fleming)
  • The Applied Learning Leader (Ruth O’Bree)
  • Senionr Sub-school leaders (Amy Funston, Francesca Corbo and Tom Robinson)
  • External providers

The program is a mix of whole Neighbourhood, House and class-based activities and the particular focus depends on the time of year and the year level.

An example of the program for Year 12 students, in Term 1 includes:

  • Induction for the program/introduce the team/set the scene
  • VASS details check
  • Organisation: Why this is important and ideas for different organisation systems
  • Time Management: Barriers and solutions for effective time management and homework planners.
  • Focussed note taking.
  • Inquiry Skills
  • Why is it important to ask questions?
  • Levels of thinking
  • How to write and use questions to study effectively
  • Careers interviews on a 1:1 basis with Careers Practitioners
