Students can make bookings every day, in allocated 30min time slots. They do this by writing their name on the booking sheet outside the Careers Office. The Office is conveniently placed off the main yard for handy access during lunch and recess, for students to call in for advice. There is a separate page on the school portal under “Careers” where all information that needs to be disseminated to students is placed. Students are also regularly emailed for notification of current events. The Lighthouse which is emailed to parents always contains information for students on the most recent changes and events of interest.
