MORRISBY
Morrisby testing is a session for students to complete a series of assessments and questionnaires which will assist students in identifying their unique strengths, preferences, and interests. Results are interpreted and analysed with Careers Advisers in the context of careers and educational choices, giving students suggestions about possible career areas, subject choices and educational routes. The aptitude assessments help students to identify the direction of their abilities, and the attitudinal assessments reflect on what motivates them and how they approach work. In conjunction with a discussion with the Careers Advisers, Morrisby profile results can assist in forming ideas about future career and course options. Students have life time access to these results and can be revisited throughout their senior schooling. Link for Morrisby: https://www.morrisby.com/
SUBJECT SELECTIONS
Year 10 is the time to start thinking about the future! Not just what you might like to study at school, but what you might like to explore beyond school. If you are undecided what you would like to explore after school, that is okay! Come to Careers to chat more about your ideas, interest and skills.
We suggest that students consider subjects that play to their strengths, interests and that they enjoy. This way, students are far more likely to succeed and persevere in their studies. Morrisby Profile results are a great way to start investigating career areas related to your interests, skills and aptitudes. Questions you might consider in the process include; Who inspires you? What do you like to do? What are you good at? Who can you talk to? What are my options?
