Coodanup Community College Library

Q R codes in the Library

Hi and welcome to the Library.

So far this year we have;

updated our desktop computers to iMacs
moved the fiction shelves onto movable shelving
placed the graphic novels and comics to the display shelves
purchased some iPads for use in the Library
bought a Kobo e-reader for trial use

Look around the Library and see if you can spot a QR code to scan
I would love to know what you think of all these changes so come in and have a look.

Introduction to Coodanup Community College Careers Centre

COODANUP COMMUNITY COLLEGE

CAREERS ADVICE CENTRE

WHAT: The Careers Centre is all about helping our students get the right information and if possible experience in their chosen career.

WHERE: We are located next to the school canteen.

WHO: Pam Micklewright is the colleges VET Coordinator; looking after School Based Traineeships, VET and TAFE courses and is available to give advice and guidance towards the students’ career planning.

Michelle helps with the tracking and monitoring of the students’ progress and is responsible for uploading their courses, leading to their eventual certificates.

Tamara looks after Work Experience and Work Place Learning.

WHY: It is important for our students to make the right subject choices and be aware of the grades they need to follow their chosen career pathway.

Throughout the year the college hosts different career pathway planning events:

Individual Pathway Plan (IPP)

Each student completes an Individual Pathway Plan which often identifies important characteristics about the student, for example their strengths and weaknesses, and is used to form the basis for future career planning. This process gives our careers staff an overview of what the student is interested in and helps with the overall planning for the student. This is reviewed every 6 months.

Year 10 subject selection for Year 11 (towards the end of Term 2, each year)

Year 10’s and their parents meet in the Library with our Careers staff and Senior teachers to discuss their subject choices for Year 11.

Excursions

Students in years 10, 11 & 12 may have the opportunity to attend careers excursions, usually held in the Perth Convention Centre.

Speed Careering Day

The school hosts a “Speed Careering Day”, where local business, industry and mining groups visit the school and advise students of the requirements needed to enter the workforce.

Students can access a computer and printer to apply for positions on line and update and print out their Resume’s.
