Careers
Career and pathways Guidance at Forest Hill College is integrated across the curriculum from years 7 - 12, with the most extensive involvement being in the senior years.
During years 7-9 students increase their awareness of themselves and the variety and nature of the world of work across their studies. They begin to accumulate documentation such as awards and reports which may be of use to them later in obtaining part- time employment or in the Career/work education/ pathways activities.
Work Education is integrated into the Year 10 curriculum with all students. All year 10 student receive a copy of the 'Job Guide' to assist their pathways investigations.
Students undertake Work Experience as part of their course to expand their pathways horizons.
