Careers

Ulladulla High School's aim is to provide you with all the latest information that will help you make decisions about your future career and your life beyond school.

Our Year 10 Work Experience Program continues to provide students with valuable opportunities to explore future career pathways, gain confidence in the workplace, and build real-world skills. UHS students engaged in a variety of placements across the community, showcasing their enthusiasm, professionalism, and willingness to learn.

A special mention goes to India Robertson, a Year 10 student who completed her work experience at Milton Public School. India made such a positive impression during her placement that she was recognised with a formal letter, commending her outstanding contribution, initiative, and maturity. Well done, India – a wonderful example of the many benefits that come from stepping outside the classroom and into the world of work.

Girls Can Too – Carpentry Experience

Last week, a group of enthusiastic Year 10 students took part in the Girls Can Too Carpentry Program — a hands-on initiative designed to introduce young women to careers in trades. Last Friday, students learned a range of practical skills and successfully built their very own toolboxes, showcasing their teamwork, focus, and determination. The training day was a great success, thanks to the ongoing support of Ulladulla High School, the Regional Industry Education Partnerships (RIEP), and TAFE NSW. A special thank you to Flavia Teixeira, the TAFE Carpentry teacher, whose expert guidance and encouragement inspired the students throughout the week. Congratulations to all involved – your efforts prove that with the right support and opportunity, girls really can do it all!

Pathways to Purpose – An innovative mentoring program

How It Began

Pathways to Purpose began as part of the Youth Road Map project in March this year. Students from Years 9, 10, and 11 were invited to participate in focus groups held at the Dunn Lewis Centre, with the goal of empowering young people to have a voice in shaping the future of their community.

Among those who attended were Annie-Maree Martin and Jaya Pimm. Inspired by the focus groups, they eagerly signed up for a two-day youth leadership conference the following week. Fuelled by their enthusiasm and encouragement from mentors at the event, the vision for Pathways to Purpose began to take shape. On the second day of the conference, they pitched their project idea to a panel of community leaders—and were awarded a grant to bring it to life.

Post-Conference Momentum

Since the conference, Annie and Jaya’s passion has continued to grow. One of their mentors, Justine Cox from Leadership Change Room, was so impressed by their vision that she invited them to the book launch of Women Living Fearlessly—an anthology of personal stories from women who have faced fear with courage and determination. Justine is one of the featured authors. In addition, Dr. Nici Sweaney from AI Her Way, who will be the keynote speaker at this year’s Career & Community Showcase, has expressed interest in mentoring Annie and Jaya. They’ve also been offered support from Mel Louth (Think Regional) and Carly McTavish (Country University Centre). Annie and Jaya will also work closely with the Ulladulla High School Careers team to strengthen existing partnerships and opportunities. To date, 15 potential mentors have already expressed interest in supporting the initiative. Will you be number 16??

Launch Event

Annie and Jaya will officially launch Pathways to Purpose at the Ulladulla Career and Community Showcase on Thursday, 5th June. These two inspiring young leaders are already making a powerful impact—and this is just the beginning. So what is Pathways to Purpose and how can I become involved?? Pathways to Purpose is a mentorship initiative designed to connect students with local professionals, community leaders, and real-world experts to help them discover and pursue their passions. By offering group occupational talks and one-on-one mentorship opportunities, the program bridges the gap between education and future careers, providing students with guidance, Inspiration, and a clearer sense of purpose.

WHITE CARD COURSE

This Thursday a pre-registered group of students will complete their White Card in the MMC using the Evidence Central platform. We are trialing this method of completing the course with the assistance of online modules.

Thanks to Mr John Hayes, the Careers team and the students who have enthusiastically embraced this ‘new’ way of learning.

CAREERS and COMMUNITY SHOWCASE is COMING!

This year's event is shaping up to be the best yet! Thursday 5 June will see our MPC transformed with exhibitors, ready to connect with students and talk about opportunities, pathways, passions and possibilities.

From TAFE courses, Trades, Universities, Defence, Emerging Careers and even a Recruitment hub there will be something for everyone. In conjunction with the showcase, on Wednesday 4 June (from 5.30 pm) the Country Universities Centre will host a Parent Event, an informal opportunity to meet with many of the sectors attending the showcase. RSVP via the QR code on the next page appreciated for catering purposes.

They’re skills like emotional intelligence, collaboration and communication skills, resilience and a commitment to creating a world worth living in. We’re looking for those special soft skills – things that might not always be reflected in your academic results – but they’re skills that help you excel in the working world.”

Register at https://study.csu.edu.au/study-options/pathways/charles-sturt-advantage to learn more about the CSU Advantage Early Entry Program.

Job Opportunities

There are a number of SBAT opportunities available for students, as businesses start to return to busier times.
A local furniture company is keen to host a student interested in studying Retail or Business Services. This would suit a current Year 10 or 11 student. A Hospitality Traineeship is on offer with a local catering company. This would include some weekend work and suit a student currently studying Hospo in Year 11 that is looking for a pathway to a career in the industry. More info at https://sbatinnsw.info
A local café has part time weekend and holiday shifts available for keen Year 8/9 students. Drop your resume in to Breakers Café, Mollymook to apply.
See Mrs Ingold in the Careers office for further information.

School Based Traineeships

SBAT’s are available to all Year 10, 11 and 12 high school students in NSW. They allow students to commence an apprenticeship or complete a traineeship while at school.A School Based Apprenticeship or Traineeship combines paid work, training and school; and as well as an industry recognised national qualification you will gain credit towards the HSC.

Many students have realised the benefits of commencing an SBAT and combining this with their study pattern here at school. Over recent times we are excited to have signed up many new SBATS. Bill Joyce-Briggs has commenced work with Robert Miller and the team at Narrawilly Dairy, Clyde Adams commenced a Cert III in Engineering (Metal Fabrication) and is working with Steven from Howes That Fabrications, Gus Boland has joined the team at Alstain Sheetmetal Ulladulla, Ruby Frank commenced a Cert III in Retail with Clyde River Berry Farm, Jack Ridley has started work at Willinga Park studying Cert III in Agricuture, Jordan Taylor is with Jack the Barber and Cindy completing a Cert II in Barbering, Kasey - Lee Adams has signed up with Green Street Pre School and is studying Cert III in Child Studies, Ella Clarke is studying Cert II in Education Support at Ulladulla Public School and and Tanaya North is studying Cert II in Business Services at Milton Public School.

Last year we also had Macy Pleasacne sign up with Northside Early Learning Centre, Madi Reid with Goddess Day Spa, Skye Randazzo and Mackenzie Prior-McPherson at Willinga Park, Airlie Melville at Bakers Delight, Riley Smith at Hisway Earthmoving and Ashley Aldrich at Woodstock Chocolate Co.

Congratulations to these students.

The first of these sees ANU (Australian National University, Canberra) opening applications from March 4^th for students to apply directly. Applications close in May and students may receive “conditional offers” in August.

“In 2020 ANU will welcome the first cohort of students under a new national admissions process. Our new admissions model will look beyond ATAR scores to consider a student’s all-round character and will be unique in its focus on holistic student assessment.”
