Student Careers

Every boy at College will, at some stage, meet with Careers Advisor Chris Sellars to discuss life beyond school – and Chris has a trove of resources and tools to help students make informed decisions about what they want to do next.

Chris believes his role is not so much to advise on specific careers, but to introduce different ideas and possibilities, listen to what the boys are thinking, and help them get to a place where they can be confident they are making the right choice.

“I’m teaching them a process and it’s the process that’s important. If they come to know themselves, understand their interests and values, gather information about the different options available, they can be trusted to make good decisions.”

The Careers Advisor is available to give advice on career options and study pathways. He works with boys either in groups or individually. It is never too early to seek careers advice and all boys should be encouraged to think about life beyond the school gates.
