At the end of last month, our Year 10 students and their parents joined us for two important Information Evenings designed to help students start planning for life beyond ECC.

The first session unpacked everything students need to know for Upper School, including academic pathways, WACE requirements, subject offerings, VET courses and endorsed programs. Students also gained insight into the subject selection process and the support available to help them make confident choices for Years 11 and 12.

The second evening focused on future pathways after school, exploring university and TAFE opportunities. We were excited to welcome Renee Strauss from ECU, alongside former ECC student Ruan Boshoff, who is currently completing his final year of Engineering studies.

These evenings were a valuable opportunity for students to explore their options, ask questions and begin shaping their future with confidence.

Following the theme of future pathways, we were honoured earlier this month to welcome Mrs Jubillee Pagsuyuin from WA Country Health Service to speak with our Year 10–12 students.

Mrs Pagsuyuin delivered an engaging and insightful careers talk, encouraging students to see the healthcare industry in a whole new light. Students discovered that making a difference in healthcare goes far beyond becoming a doctor or nurse. Alongside traditional roles such as doctors, nurses and allied health professionals, students were introduced to the many behind-the-scenes careers that help keep the healthcare system running, including cybersecurity, engineering, graphic design and instructional design, just to name a few.

The session sparked plenty of curiosity and excitement, with students asking thoughtful questions and gaining a deeper understanding of the wide range of opportunities available within the healthcare industry.
