Careers & Portfolio Pathways Program
The St Margaret’s Careers and Portfolio Pathways Program is designed to assist students in making informed and effective decisions regarding their chosen pathway, so they are better prepared for the challenges of tertiary education and the world of work through the school’s individually focussed Careers Education Program.
This applies to all students whether they follow a tertiary studies pathway or a vocational education pathway. The program aims to enhance the opportunities offered to students through an established network of mentoring and practical real-world experiences provided by both internal and external individuals, business and educational institutions.
The St Margaret’s Student Pathways & Futures team support students with their subject selection, SET planning and career guidance, ensuring students build resilience, leadership capabilities and life skills.
Under the leadership of the Head of Faculty – Student Pathways & Futures and the Careers team, St Margaret’s works to support current students in making the best possibly decisions related to their work and study. Through various opportunities and activities targeted to specific individual needs, our aim to provide students with all possible opportunities to succeed in their desired field.
