Planning Future Directions

First Get the Right Advice

Choosing a pathway post-secondary can be a scary and confusing time.  How do you figure out what you want to do?  Where is the best place to start?

Using your Morrisby Profile is a good starting point.  This will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and what types of jobs and courses may be of interest to you in the future.  Of course, you’ll have some ideas yourself, and your parents and teachers may also have suggestions too.

Next you will need to book a session with a Careers Practitioner, who can point you in the right direction of other resources so you can research and explore your post-secondary options.

Good advice is an enormous help.  It can make you aware of the range of jobs that are available and suggest which ones might suit your interests and talents.

The Careers Office is open from 8:30am to 4:00pm every day at the senior campus, on a Tuesday at the Officer Campus and a Wednesday at the Berwick Campus. Appointments are available at any time during the day.  The team will be available to assist you with your subject selection and pathway options.

Please make sure to book an appointment through the booking section of the career’s website. https://sfxcareers.com.au/for-students/appointment-booking . When making a booking please check with your teacher as to whether this works within your learning program. If you need to be in class, the meeting will be rescheduled. The team can also arrange for parents to participate in a careers counselling session by having parents join your session either via TEAMs or in person.

Tertiary Entrance

Victoria’s tertiary institutions have a joint selection system administered by the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC).

VTAC’s role includes:

  • Organising the application procedure.
  • Receiving and processing applications.
  • Forwarding the appropriate applications, and accompanying information, to the relevant tertiary institutions.
  • Making offers to prospective students on behalf of tertiary institutions.

You should familiarise yourself with the VTAC website and visit it often as it has a significant range of resources to assist you with preparing for a tertiary pathway after school.

On the site you can access:

Current Year 10 students who are planning their VCE programs need to check the VTAC 2028 prerequisite guide to check what subjects they need for courses and study they might be interested in.

Please note: Some TAFEs accept direct entry enrolments, rather than going through VTAC.  Speak to your Careers Counsellor about which TAFE’s take direct enrolment and how to apply.
