Careers Counselling

Rather than a graduation, American colleges refer to commencement ceremonies, and this is one of the primary goals of the Careers function at St Cuthbert’s College; to support, nurture and optimise the commencement of every student’s journey beyond our gates.

Striving for Personal Excellence
Students leave St Cuthbert’s knowing where they are heading. 94 - 100% of our students continue to degree level study. We celebrate the academic marvels and equally we laud every student who has put in that extra degree of effort: her persistent commitment and actions are rewarded with tertiary study opportunities, employment outcomes and with the power that comes from being able to choose. 
Building a Connected Community
On a near daily basis Old Girls report back on what they are up to – whether it be backpacking around Central America, working as a forensic scientist in the aftermath of the London bombings, training hunt horses in Ireland or simply emailing as they burn the midnight oil studying for law intermediate exams.
From first year out onwards, Old Girls offer to mentor current students; to share their experiences, to ‘offer a hand’ – in the same way as many parents and friends of the College do.
Developing all Dimensions
Athletes gain sports’ scholarships to fund undergraduate education in the USA. Exquisitely talented musicians commence at universities in Houston and Hamburg. Photography students decide to turn their garage in to a darkroom when they decide a career in accountancy will finance the purchase of fabulous quality photographic paper to be used in the leisure hours. Pursuing Innovation, Valuing Tradition
Through IT programmes such as CareerBuilder and CareerQuest students embark on a journey of self-analysis and discovery exploring their strengths and interests and revealing how these marry with the world of work.
