The Careers centre is a valuable school resource that assists students to prepare themselves for tertiary study or the workplace.

We have a careers advisor who

Offers personalised career counselling and self assessments to help students identify their strengths and interests. Many students have no idea of the direction they want to take after College – a korero with the advisor can often be a great starting point.
Career Resources – there are countless resources available like university and polytechnic prospectuses, course flyers, information on different careers, videos, CD ROMs and web resources relevant to careers.
There are many opportunities to attend events such as career expos, university/polytechnic visits, work experience days, visits from many tertiary education providers and private companies.
Tertiary Accommodation Applications – the careers advisor will also assist students who are considering moving to another region for their tertiary study.
