Year 11 Career Interviews

Year 11 students recently completed career interviews with Mrs Trish Dolan, Careers Counsellor. The aim of this meeting was to see how our Year 11 students are journeying, check any 2021 Year 12 changes, explore their post Year 12 options and ensure they know where to access ALL the great school career resources.
Well done to our Year 11 students, what a year!

Introduction to 2021 Work Experience

Year 9 students will shortly be introduced to the 2021 work experience program at CGGS.

New Work Order/Enterprise Skills

FYA in their report New Work Order Report is calling for a national enterprise skills strategy to ensure young people are prepared for the economy of the future and equipped with the tools to drive economic and social progress. Enterprise skills are transferrable across different jobs and are a more powerful predictor of long-term job success and performance than technical knowledge. They include communication, project management, financial literacy, digital literacy and the ability to critically assess and analyse information, be creative and innovate.
