Programs dealing with College information and work awareness skills have been established for Year 10 students. Students are provided with support, information and counselling resources to assist with their career/educational decision making. Careers counselling is available to all students. However, those who are terminating formal schooling in Year 9 and 10 are strongly encouraged to seek assistance. A number of in-school activities including guest speakers such as "tradeswomen on the move", give specific insights into major career areas. College visits, interviews, and the Careers' Market are encouraged to enhance student awareness. A great deal of emphasis is also placed on college and other choices in first semester (for Year 10's) to assist students to make appropriate choices for their transition from high school in the following year.
