Our School
Careers Education & Advice
The Careers Advisor assists students to explore options as they prepare for life after school. Students are advantaged by being supported individually for four years, which is possible due to the Senior School not being large. The Careers Advisor’s role is multi-faceted and includes motivating, informing and resourcing students in their studies and career pathways and assisting them in identifying skills and God’s calling on their lives.
There are four main post-school options:
- Tertiary Education at Universities and Colleges
- TAFE Courses
- Traineeship, Apprenticeship and Pre-Apprenticeship Training
- Seeking employment
The Covenant College Careers Program includes:
- Encouraging students to consider who God is, His calling on their lives, and their God given skills, talents and abilities.
- Career exploration based on students’ interests and abilities, and researching post-secondary pathways including education and training and employment opportunities.
- Excursions, events and guest speakers
- Assisting students to link post-secondary pathways with their VCE or VCE Vocational Major Program.
Year 10 WORK EXPERIENCE –

Year 10students may choose to undertake a Work Experience placement. This is an optional component of the Year 10 program. Placements are to be arranged by the student/family and take place during Term 1, 2, or 3 school holidays. We encourage students to aim for 5 days of placement. This could be in a one week block or individual days spread over the 3 school holiday periods. Occupational Health & Safety training and the Department of Education Work Experience Paperwork must be completed before students attend a placement.
