Career Planning and Support
It is recognised at Scots College that the key to success, both within school and out, is for students to have a passion for subjects and interests that ultimately lead to a satisfying career where students reach their full potential. Career education and advice at Scots College gives students the necessary information and confidence to face a succession of options, decisions and career choices.
Career education is incorporated for all year levels through the pastoral care tutorials run through the house system.
