Open Days
Whether you are in Year 12 or Year 8, it is never too early to start exploring career/course options.
We are fast approaching the time of the year where tertiary providers are opening their doors to welcome prospective students and their parents/guardians to visit their campuses.
Open Day’s provide the perfect opportunity for Secondary School students to assess their future educational options and to ask any questions they might have about particular courses and Higher Education/TAFE providers.
For Open Day dates, please visit the Casey Grammar Careers Page – Calendar of Events. Alternatively, you can access Open Day information via the VTAC website.
South East Career Expo – Year 9 Excursion
On Tuesday 19 July, our Year 9 students had the opportunity to attend the South East Careers Expo at KCC Park in Skye. The South East Career Expo is Victoria’s largest Careers Expo (outside of the CBD).
The purpose of this excursion was to provide our students the opportunity to engage with Universities, TAFE’s, RTO’s, community service organisations and industry about post-Secondary education and employment opportunities.
It was a great afternoon, and it was wonderful to see our Year 9 students taking advantage of the opportunity to speak with different organisations. Their hands were full of brochures (and fairy floss), as they navigated the expo and discovered the many different pathways that exist for them. This knowledge supports our students to make informed decisions regarding their career pathways, which similarly supports them to make VCE subject choices that align with their interests, values, and strengths.
A big thank you to the Year 9 students for making the activity such a success.
