Guidance and Career Education

“When we graduate a child from a Catholic School, we don’t only ask ‘What did you learn?’ but ‘Who did you become?’”

- Sister Clare Fitzgerald. 

Guidance and Career Education plays a central role by preparing s​tudents for a complex and changing world. The Guidance  program has a specific focus on learner, interpersonal, and career development with the following goals:

• teach career awareness early and throughout students' education;
• ensure that students have the skills they need to set and achieve their learning goals now and in the future;
• teach students the skills to make transitions throughout their lives, to work and/or further education and training;
• prepare students to live in an increasingly diverse society by helping them develop the ability to interact positively and work effectively in a range of setting
