Career Guidance
JJ Cahill MHS supports students career development by facilitating opportunities for them to actively engage with their personal career development journey, which occurs over time. By the time students are ready to graduate, all year groups will have had the opportunity to participate in activities that range from careers education classes, engaging with industry, careers expos and further education providers, to personal contact through mentoring, subject selection and career transition interviews.
The school fully supports students to compliment the school-organsied career related activities by encouraging them to self-access information in the Career Support Google Classroom and exploring resources below that will lead to a more comprehensive and personalised career development journey that focusses on students taking ownership and direction of their future lives.

- Provide your personal email address into the "email address" box and remember that you can access this web site until Year 13 (one year after finishing Year 12) only if you use your personal email not your school one.
Myfuture is another FREE resource (for government school students) used to support students career development:
