Productive Pathways

SENIOR PATHWAYS : VCE, VCE - VM & VET

At Year 10 , students gain valuable real - world insights through Work Experience programs, Career Expos and Real - World Job Interviews. These practical, hands - on experiences allow them to explore various industries, develop essential skills, and make informed decisions about their future career paths - all critical steps in their career journey. Students participate in mock interviews, and personalised coaching to equip them with the confidence, communication skills, and interview etiquette needed to excel in real - world job interviews. To achieve this, they present themselves professionally, articulate their strengths, and demonstrate their readiness to thrive in the workplace.

At The Lakes South Morang College, we believe in empowering students to explore their interests and prepare for successful futures. Here's a snapshot of our comprehensive pathway planning journey: At Year 9 , students begin their pathway planning journey with the commencement of electives, the development of Career Action Plans and Morrisby testing. These tools help students identify their strengths, interests, and potential career pathways, laying a strong foundation for their future choices. Our dedicated Careers subject allows students to explore professions, develop resumes and the soft skills needed to excel – both at school and in the workforce, including: communication, teamwork, problem - solving, adaptability, time management, resilience, leadership, creativity, and conflict resolution.

SENIOR YEARS At the Senior School level, we offer Early - Entry Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs, providing students with opportunities to start their vocational training while still in school. Similarly, Early - Entry Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) options enable students to accelerate their academic journeys and pursue advanced

studies aligned with their interests. As Year 12 students progress towards

completion of their senior years, our dedicated team assists them in navigating the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) application process. We ensure that students are well - prepared to apply for tertiary education and make informed choices about their post - school pathways. Students receive personalised career counseling and guidance throughout their senior years, helping them explore career options, understand industry trends, and develop tailored pathways plans aligned with their aspirations.
