Sandra Careers Counsellor A Career in Football Administration - 15 NovemberA group of interested Scarlet and jet students were treated to a talk given by Tim Harrington, Football Administrator for the Kangaroos, and local community member. He regaled us with interesting stories about his own AFL playing and assistant coaching experience as well as his current role with the Kangaroos. He talked about the tenuous lifespan an AFL player, where the average playing career with the AFL lasts 3 to 4 years. The insight he provided to the world of AFL was fascinating. The Kangaroos teach its players life skills, including financial management, supermarket shopping and cooking skills.

The expo features a specific education and developers section where students can talk to course advisors and developers first hand.

Work Experience 2008I am continually encouraged by the conversations I am having in regards to the organisation of Work Experience for 2008. A few tips: Keep a record of who you contacted and when. Don’t give up. Make use of your network of family and friends for contacts. Work Skills - Interior Decoration and Design - 1 NovemberThe aim of the Work Skills Interior Decoration and Design program (Pathways 2008), offered by IMVC in conjunction with Holmesglen Institute of TAFE, is to give students an insight into the training required to achieve an Interior Decoration and Design qualification. It will provide an exciting and safe learning environment where students can experience work activities from the Interior Decoration and Design industries. During this program, students will develop knowledge and skills to work in this exciting professional industry. During the course of the program students will work on several interiors for both domestic and commercial applications. The course is made up of both theory and practical modules.
