Our Careers Education Program at Catherine McAuley aims to create opportunities for students to explore future careers through accessing a range of resources and by engaging with the wider community.

All Catherine McAuley students are encouraged to start thinking about what they might like to pursue after school and take the time to enjoy exploring what is out there.

Career Learning - Catherine McAuley Westmead

During the school year the Careers Office organises guest speakers for lunchtime 'Career Mondays' talks to discuss various careers and study options.

The aim of these talks is to create more opportunities for students to access careers information and insight through those currently working in the field. While the school continues to have student ambassadors from various universities and colleges talk to students, it is often more useful for students to hear from people actually working in a particular role or industry. It is helpful to hear how others reached their goals, how they overcame setbacks and perhaps found other ways to follow their passion.

Students are welcome to visit the Careers Office at lunchtime on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday to have a chat with our Careers Advisor, Mrs Amanda Chahine. Senior students who have study periods, can use this time to make an appointment to go through more concrete career and study options.
