Careers and Pathway Planning
All students in the Middle School develop Pathway Plans with our Career Action Plans (CAPs) Coordinator who helps them identify their strengths and career goals and then plan an appropriate senior school course of study. Students who have no particular pathway in mind are encouraged to study subjects that will give them the maximum choice of tertiary courses later on and to further pursue subjects they show particular talent in as these might lead to a career.
