Foretaste of future careers

By BRIDGET COOK

STUDENTS at Hampton Park Secondary College took part in a speed careers day last month to help try and find their perfect employment match.
The school held its annual event on Tuesday 3 December at which more than 200 Year 9 students made their way around different stations to learn about different careers.
Hampton Park Secondary College careers co-ordinator Robyn Cardamone said the event was a great success.
“It was a buzzing, fast-paced and energetic atmosphere,” she said.
“With 19 stations to visit, students were able to find out about pathways into different careers.
“Students rotated around each station listening and gathering information, they also enjoyed some ice cream after watching how it was made.”
The school had representatives from a range of careers including technical, architecture, automotive, hospitality and tourism, engineering, defence force, police, disability support and video games.
