Celebrating Success – Kasey Paternoster (2023 Year 12)
Kasey Paternoster successfully completed her VCE at Casey Grammar School in 2023. As part of her VCE program, Kasey completed a VET qualification; a Certificate III in Health Services Assistance through Chisholm Institute. This VET qualification supported Kasey to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to secure a part time job as a Personal Care Attendant at Peninsula Health. What an amazing achievement!
Kasey will continue to work at Peninsula Health, whilst simultaneously completing a qualification to enable her to work as a nurse in the future.
Congratulations Kasey! We are proud of your accomplishments.
Careers and Pathways Week (Year 10)
In Week 7 of Term 1, all Year 10 students will be participating in the week-long Careers and Pathways Week. The purpose of Careers and Pathways Week is for students to conduct research into future career pathways by engaging with tertiary providers (University, TAFE) and industry. Students will develop their enterprise skills in preparation for 2025 and beyond. The program compliments the work our Year 10s are currently undertaking in the Career Discovery Program subject and will support informed subject selection.
A Consent2Go invitation has been sent to all Year 10 students and parents/guardians. This invitation includes additional information regarding the structure of the week.
We are excited to offer our students this opportunity and look forward to sharing exciting updates in due course.
