Careers

Wenona's Careers Education Program is future focused, challenges traditional career pathways, and enhances student awareness of potential careers. Our Head of Careers and Student Opportunity oversees our Careers Team, located on the Miller Street campus. We also have an information-packed Careers Portal for students and their parents.

As students progress through the Upper School, they have opportunities to develop career-specific skills that will enhance their understanding of the world of work and enterprise. An integral component of the Careers Program in the Upper School is the Year 10 Careers Profiling program. The aim of this program is to give students a greater understanding of themselves, their abilities, and interests to help to make better-informed career decisions. This program is extremely beneficial for Year 10 students before they begin the process of choosing subjects for the Higher School Certificate. Opportunities for Work Exploration and industry skill development are also provided in the Upper School.

Wenona's Alumnae Insights Program provides valuable opportunities and experiences for Years 10 to 12 students to network, interact and engage with members of the Wenona Alumnae across a range of different professions and industries. During Years 11 and 12, the Career Development Program is individualised and students meet regularly with the Careers Team to discuss career goals and aspirations. Students can access a range of print and digital resources through our Careers Office and in West Commons.
