Year 10 Careers Expo – Exploring Pathways Beyond the Classroom

On Thursday the 5th of June, our Year 10 group attended the Macarthur Careers Expo aimed at expanding our understanding of the many opportunities available beyond school. Held at the Minto Indoor Sports Stadium, the event brought together students from a range of schools to engage with professionals, training providers, and tertiary institution experts with a purpose to create curiosity about the career possibilities available for us at the moment.

The expo featured an impressive range of stalls and exhibitors, including representatives from universities such as UNSW, UTS, Notre Dame, ACU, and Macquarie University, who provided valuable insight into course offerings, admission pathways, and student life. Vocational education was also strongly represented, with TAFE stalls highlighting practical, hands-on career options and apprenticeships which was really helpful.

We had the chance to explore pathways in fields ranging from education, medicine, engineering, and STEM, to creative industries, trades, and community services. The breadth of information available catered to our diverse interests, making the experience both eye-opening and inspiring.

The day was not only informative but also empowering and encouraging. We were able to think critically about our future ambitions and the next steps to assist us in career making decisions. It was also a fantastic opportunity to start meaningful conversations about life beyond high school with friends, teachers  and parents/carers.

A heartfelt thank you to our parents and carers, Mrs McMahon, Mr Fricot, our Pastoral Care teachers and school administration team for all the support that made this event a valuable life experience. We are confident that we all walked away with a greater awareness and motivation to continue moving through our career pathway.
