At Burdekin Catholic High School, we believe every student has the potential to shape a meaningful and successful future. Through our Creating Futures Careers Program, students from Years 7–12 are encouraged to be aspirational, proactive, and purposeful in exploring their career goals. This program supports the development of lifelong learning habits and helps students make informed decisions about their personal and professional pathways.
Our approach to career education is holistic and embedded across the full school experience. We believe that preparing students for life beyond school means more than simply choosing subjects or filling in job applications. Career learning is intentionally integrated into academic subjects, pastoral care, co-curricular activities, and leadership opportunities. It forms a vital part of our commitment to nurturing confident, capable, and future-ready young people.
Key features of the Creating Futures Program include:
· Personalised career advising and guidance
· Dedicated Careers subject in Year 8
· Work experience placements in Years 10, 11, and 12
· Practical workshops on job applications, résumés, and interview skills
· Access to career expos and industry visits
· Guest speakers from a wide range of professions and tertiary education providers
· Excursions to James Cook University and local industries
· Year 10 Careers Week
· Delivery of the QCAA Short Course in Careers
· Ongoing subject selection support from Years 8 to 12
· Tertiary pathway assistance including QTAC applications
· Development of life skills, time management, and future planning
Our very experienced Careers Advisor Teacher, Antonetta Dalle Cort is available to meet with students who wish to discuss potential pathways or access tailored career support.
We also welcome conversations with parents and families who may have questions about subject choices, pathway options, or how best to support their child’s future direction. At Burdekin Catholic High School, we are proud to walk alongside our students and families as they navigate the many exciting opportunities that lie ahead.
