Career/Pathways Department

The year has got off to a positive start with the Year 13 Pathway Planning session. 

Those that missed this will have their meeting in the weeks ahead. Students set out their academic goals, future pathway intentions and what support they wanted.

Any student can book an individual meeting with the Careers Advisor, Mrs Munro p.munro@geraldinehs.school.nz parents are always welcome to attend too. Career information can be accessed on the schools CareerWise website along with Careers NZ.

There will be presentations early in term 2 from U.C, Lincoln University and the NZ Defence Force.

Gateway

The ever popular Gateway course is well underway with students completing a first aid course and a health and safety course. In class, students are learning how to target their CV to a specific job, a great skill to have. 

Students will then go on and learn about obligations as an employee in their lead up to going out on work experience in term 2. 

Sally Houston, the Gateway Co-ordinator has started the individual planning meetings in preparation to setting up where students will be placed.
