Career Advice

A career is a journey and not a destination. It is a lifelong process and one that will be added to continually. So where to start...
SKILLS - things you are good at! This may be something in school like Science or English or it may be out of school like cooking the family meal, or keeping the vegetable garden full of fresh food for the table, or waitressing at a local winery cafe.
INTERESTS - what do you like doing in your spare time? Do you play sport, sing in a choir, look after children, or help out at Riding for the Disabled?
VALUES - this is your sense of what is right and wrong for you and how you want to live your life. You get your values from home, family, school and community.
Your skills, interests and values form the basic foundation on which you will make your career choice in the future. So it is important that you start here.
FUTURE INDICATIVE is a computer programme at school which girls can use to keep a record of their own interests, skills, achievements and goals. They are able to access this at any time on any of the school computers.
