SchoolPoint Modules

The Careers Team at Green Bay High School offers a range of resources and support for students. These include access to career information and guidance, professional development for staff, partnerships with external agencies, alumni, and industry networks.

To achieve this, we have identified four key objectives:

• Develop self-awareness and personal identity
• Explore career options and pathways
• Build employability skills and financial literacy
• Learn to make informed decisions about future education and employment

Our career education plan comprises four key components:

1. First, the plan aims to provide students with relevant and up-to-date career information and guidance.
2. Second, over a five-year period, students will develop individual career portfolios in School Point to assist them to explore their career options and pathways.
3. Third, in the senior school, work-integrated learning opportunities provide students with real-life work experience, which aids in the development of employability skills and financial literacy.
4. Fourth, industry and community partnerships are formed to expose students to a range of career options and pathways.

School-wide Career Education plan: Our school-wide Career Education plan is a collaborative and inclusive approach that involves all staff and stakeholders. Throughout the year students are encouraged to attend events such as the Careers Out West Expo at the Trust Stadium on 29th May and our weekly Kawhe & Korero sessions in Mana Tangata where we invite guest speakers to come and talk about their career journeys. Click HERE for the Kawhe & Korero schedule.

We are excited to announce that this term, one period will be set aside for all students to complete the first module of their career portfolio in School Point. The dates and times for all sessions are:
📅 Term 2: W2 (May 7th) - Tuesday period 4
📅 Term 3: Wk 2 (July 30th) Tuesday period 4
📅 Term 3: WK 6 (August 27th) Tuesday period 4
📅 Term 4: FORM TIME FOCUS Yr 9-12 - Y13 returning next steps

We encourage all whānau and caregivers to view and comment on their child's career development by logging into SchoolPoint. This will allow you to stay up-to-date with their progress and provide support where needed. We believe that by taking a collaborative and inclusive approach to career education, we will be able to provide our students with the best possible outcomes and opportunities for success.
