Inspiring Carey Students

Carey's career education team and community engagement team have been working together to develop and implement programs and opportunities for Carey Senior School students and soon to be alumni. Programs have ranged from Work Experience in Year 10 to bringing back alumni to speak to students about their own pathways at career expos, assemblies and other school programs. After a 15-year break, work experience for Year 10 students has been introduced back to Carey. Throughout the year, Year 10 students have an opportunity to participate in Carey’s work experience program. This valuable program provides students with a first-hand insight into a chosen profession to see what a career is truly about before planning to embark on their own. In partnership with the Community Engagement team, the Careers office has started to build a strong database of community partners who support the work experience program, including many Carey alumni and current parents. Many of the students have chosen to complete their work experience with a Carey alum who has volunteered their time, expertise, and professional knowledge to host a student in their workplace. Another fantastic opportunity occurred during Term Two where Carey’s Year 11 and 12 Legal Studies students were treated to a visit from alum Justice Rowan Downing QC (1970). After leaving Carey, Rowan went on to become a senior Australian lawyer and later, a judge of the Supreme Court in Vanuatu. In 2006, he took up a position as an international judge for the United Nations Assistance to the Khmer Rouge. He was also voted by the UN General Assembly to the bench of the United Nations Dispute Tribunal in Geneva. Rowan shared some incredible insights and stories of his own professional experiences in human rights and law in general, far beyond what a textbook could offer. If you are interested in participating in the work experience program by volunteering to host a work experience placement or in offering your time to speak with students at assemblies or in smaller class settings, please contact alumni@carey.com.au |
