At Sacred Heart, we value educating the whole student and preparing them for the diverse pathways that lie ahead. As part of this commitment, our Year 11 cohort recently attended a Careers Expo, where students were exposed to a wide range of opportunities—from pathways in the police force to careers in coding and beyond.

Students engaged positively with the experience, taking the opportunity to explore different industries, ask questions, and consider their future directions. They represented the College exceptionally well throughout the day, and we are very proud of their conduct and enthusiasm.

Below is some insight from one of our Year 11 SRC representatives, Joel Pehlman:

On March 19, we traveled to the Melbourne Showgrounds to partake in a careers expo. It was a very insightful day for everyone, and we all got to see something we all took an interest in. Some were competing for how many free samples they could get from pens, to lollies, to pamphlets, and coffees. There were many interesting lectures that we gained helpful information from, and we even got to see a dog! The Australian Defense force were there with an army truck which we were all given the opportunity to get in, and the police force, where some were able to try on vests. The expo had some universities to gain course information from, and there were many vocational courses there for others not wanting to go to university. There was a diverse range of career pathways to explore, and all offered comprehensive information about their day-to-day objectives. We would like to thank Ms Delaney for giving us the opportunity to go down to Melbourne for a change and all teachers who came down with us for the day, I'm certain we all learned something interesting.
