…taking on senior

making good decisions

“… another turning point,a fork stuck in the road …”

Greenday

When you finish school …

a)Do you know exactly what you’ll

do?

b)Have a pretty good idea?

c)Only some vague ideas?

d)Haven’t got a clue?


How do you decide ????• Roll the dice, “Hakuna Matata”

• Have an educated guess

• Spend time talking to others, soul searching,

investigating options

• Do what I’m told

• And the best answer is …………..


Talk, Think, Investigate




• THINK … about what?

• (this is ‘personal’ – there is only one person

who can accurately do this – YOU! )

• my skills / talents

• where I want to be in 10 years from now

(yep – that means you’ll be 24!)

• what I believe in …my values

• my dreams



INVESTIGATE …huh? Read about jobs – e.g. JOBGUIDE

Spend time checking library resources

Checkout the many websites

www.studentconnect.qcaa.qld.edu.au/

Look at print / video / DVD sources

Go visit the workplace / institution

http://www.studentconnect.qcaa.qld.edu.au/

Regarding Your Feelings ...

It’s normal to feel a bit

overwhelmed by all the

information

Normal to feel unsure / anxious

Normal to feel cool / clear /

confident


Some Guidelines

• keep your options open

• have in mind possible post-Year 12

options

• for most kids, zeroing in on one choice

happens in the latter part / end of Year

12

• have some ideas about possible jobs

• what’s predicted to grow? shrink?

stay the same?CARE COURTESY COOPERATION CHALLENGE COMMITMENT

More Guidelines

What does Chancellor College offer?

• read the Subject Selection Handbook

• talk to teachers and Heads of Department

• ask students currently studying a subject you’re interested in what they think of it

• check out the books and materials used in a particular subject

Choose subjects for sound, sensible reasons

The following are NOT good reasons to choose a subject ...


“Doh” Reasons!

• my friends are all doing this subject

• that subject has an awesome teacher

• mum/dad/bro/sis etc. said I must take

this subject

• everyone says … that subject is a real

bludge

• only girls do that subject

• that subject gives you a higher OP


And Remember … There is usually more than one way to look at things in life!


In Summary …

• Don’t panic!

• (“no doubt the universe is unfolding,

as it should”)

• Make an initial selection – leave it for

a few days, re-check how the

selection choice FEELS

• Go with your intuition

• And remember …many roads lead to
