If you are an Aboriginal student, you can join the Aboriginal Pathways to Success Week!

Pathways to Success is a fun week for Aboriginal students in Years 10. You will learn about different jobs and careers by doing hands on activities while spending time with other students from across the state and staying connected to culture and community.

During the week, you’ll try new activities, meet new people, and explore ideas for your future.

If you want to know more, talk to the Aboriginal Education team at your school.

• Look through the site to find out more or ask your parent, teacher, or the Aboriginal Education team at your school for help.

• Think about the kinds of jobs or careers that sound interesting to you.

• Decide what might suit you best - learning a trade, doing a short course, going to university, or starting work after school.

• Log in to the My Career Portal to try activities and discover career ideas.

• Check out MyFuture for quizzes and advice.
