Year 10 Work Experience

All Year 10 are reminded that compulsory Work Experience is fast approaching and students should be making enquiries now, to attend workplaces during the week of November 28 until December 2, especially if they are considering travelling interstate. Work Experience is a valuable opportunity to assist students with planning their career paths.

All the necessary guidelines and permission forms can be assessed on our Career website at www.mcauleycatholiccollegecareers.com
QLD University Tour
Year 11 Students from McAuley College are invited to join other north coast High Schools from Nambucca Heads to Grafton as part of the Clarence/Coffs Careers Advisers Network tour of Queensland universities on the 24th and 25th of November. The students will get a full overview of university life at five campuses during the two-day tour. 
This is an excellent opportunity for the students to assist them to select their career pathway. It also gives them a goal to aspire to at the end of Year 12. The university tour will include Bond University, Queensland University of Technology, University of Qld, Griffith University, Union College and the Gold Coast campus of Southern Cross University. 
The cost is $180 and MCC has been allocated six places. Students are urged to return their permission notes quickly to avoid disappointment. We have been given more places in previous years. So once final numbers are known late in October, we will compile a  list of reserves of students wishing to attend.
