Year 11 Careers in Directions
Over this week and next, the girls in Year 11 Directions class will be starting to plan for life post-Pymble. By the end of the term, the girls will have a plan of options or a careers board of areas to investigate. I strongly encourage Year 11 students to start making appointments to talk through these opportunities with me or Mr Kozyra. Meeting can be booked via the Senior School VC page.
