2022, Term 3, Edition 11 - - Casey Grammar School

It is hard to believe that we are already half-way through Term 3!

Term 3 is always busy from a careers perspective, particularly as we support our Year 12 students with managing their transitions from Casey Grammar School.

Over the last few weeks, I have been meeting with all Year 12 students to discuss their future plans. I am excited to support them as they navigate their last few months as CGS.
