Careers program
Sandringham College provides a comprehensive and structured careers program that supports students from Years 7–12 to make informed decisions about their pathways, subject choices and future careers.
Our approach
Our Careers Program is designed to ensure every student develops clarity, confidence and direction for life beyond school. Through structured support, expert guidance and strong partnerships, we enable students to successfully transition into university, further training or employment.
Our Careers Team including the Careers Coordinator, VET Coordinator, VCE-VM Work Placement Coordinator and Department of Education funded Headstart Coordinator works collaboratively to provide consistent guidance and support at every stage of a student’s learning journey. Students and families are able to access individual careers counselling to explore options and plan for post-school success.
The Careers Team supports students with:
- University, TAFE and training pathways
- Course and career planning
- Subject selection guidance
- Apprenticeships, traineeships and cadetships
- Resume writing and interview preparation
- Work experience and structured workplace learning
- VTAC and VCAA processes
- Scholarships, open days and enrichment opportunities
- Part-time employment and pathway exploration
