vet and careers
Students often say ‗Sir, I don’t know what I want to do when
I leave school!‘ I can tell them that I felt the same when I
was at school. In fact there are many adults who still don‘t
know what they want to do. Students should remember that
the journey towards a career goal is full of unexpected twists
and turns. But, as long as they are doing something, they
are progressing towards that goal. We need to keep our
eyes open and jump at opportunities that come our way.
Late in Term One, students interested in careers in the
Health sector had a visit from KRASH – Kimberley Regional
Association of Students in Health. Sasha Bailey, a former St
Mary‘s College student, delivered the presentation which
gave students an insight into the dedication required to be a
health professional. Participating students also had fun
completing a series of basic health checks on each other.
All Upper School students attended Careers Expo recently.
The event was an opportunity for students to explore career
possibilities in mining, horticulture, the defence forces,
building and construction, hospitality and health .
We all need to remember that it is just as important to find
out what we don’t like doing as it is to find out what we do
like doing. Career development is like any journey – full of
surprises, boring bits, ups and downs – but we are always
moving towards our goal.
