It is vital that students and their parents are confident about what will be happening next before the exams so that their effort is focused where it should be. With this in mind we have come up with four key ways to support your students with some of their decisions.
Techtorium Open Day on Saturday 4th November 2017 where students and their parents can see us in our own environment...!
ICE and CODE courses across the holidays and throughout November and into the middle of December to help students decide if IT could be a possible career choice for them (the credits are also useful!).
‘Student for a day’ opportunity for senior students to come in and spend some time with our full-time students to experience a taste of tertiary.
Lunchtime talks with students who would like to investigate the possibility of a career in IT.
1 – Open Day for Year 12’s and Year 13’s and their Families
On Saturday the 4th of November from 9.00am until 3.00pm we will be offering our first Open Day to senior students, families, friends and schools to come in, talk with our staff and students. There will be activities, interviews and as much information about what your students need to be doing now, what our students do when they are with us and most important how we connect with our Employment Partners.
2 - ICE and CODE Courses
I have included the calendar for the rest of the year at the bottom of this e-mail. You will notice that the offerings have increased considerably to meet the demand and provide as many opportunities as we can for your seniors.
In preparation for the holiday courses we always ask you for a contact phone number so if the student does not turn up we are able to contact them or their family to find out where they are. These holidays we will be specifically asking for the students mobile number (mum’s if they don’t have one) so we can text a reminder the day before the course starts to remind them where they need to be and when.
3 – Student for a Day
We test the learning style of all of our full time Diploma students in order to better support them in their learning. From this we know that close to 95% of them are Kinaesthetic Learners – the learn by doing and experiencing. This is why we offer the opportunity for your students to come in for a day. We buddy them up with a full time student and they can experience a Taste of Tertiary at Techtorium! They meet the trainers, quiz our students, feel the independence and excitement of coming into Newmarket on the train (usually) and see how an Innovative Learning Environment could suit them. We want them to come back to you as their careers advisor with the confidence that they are making an informed decision about where they go next.
4 – Lunchtime Talks
Book a time for either myself or one of our trainers to come in during your lunchtime and speak with any students who have questions or who may be interested in studying IT or working in IT. No group is too large or too small.
I will be away overseas between the 23rd of September and the 29th of October so just to keep you in the loop again about who you can contact if you need any assistance.
