At McGlashan, your son will have access to a range of opportunities and support that will help him to explore career pathways, and assist him with his transition out of school.
Students begin learning about their strengths and interests in Year 7, 8 and 9, through their Integrated Studies programme.
As students shift into the senior school, they are invited to attend careers interviews in Years 9-13, with the purpose of assisting them make academic pathway and subject decisions as they progress through the College.
Our students can explore different career pathways through the Gateway programme, on offer in Years 12 and 13, which consists of a weekly work placement. We also encourage our students to take part in the Otago Secondary Tertiary College, run in conjunction with Otago Polytechnic, a weekly course in areas not offered as traditional school subjects. We use our STAR, secondary tertiary allocation resource, from the Ministry to support students who wish to take short courses, or explore different options. In Year 13, some of our students opt into university papers to extend their experience and knowledge.
Your son will have access to the McGlashan CareerWise site, and can make a time to see the Careers Advisor, Rachael Gardiner, at any time.
