"Thank you so much Maree, for helping me through school to pursue my passion of creative writing. By getting a traineeship while I was at school, I was able to use this qualification to gain entry to University. I am now completing a Bachelor of Creative Industries and have had my first book published"

When Can Guidance and Career Counselling Help?
Many young people struggle through school because they are confused and uncertain about their future. They may be experiencing personal or family issues, struggle with learning or just simply need motivation to be successful at school.
Specialist advice and support from a skilled and experienced counsellor can make all the difference. I have supported many young people to overcome personal, social, family issues or other difficulties to gain a positive sense of self, find a purpose and develop a meaningful plan for the future.
That inevitable question, “What are you going to do when you leave school?”
Finding the answer requires some key steps:
- Learn more about yourself to identify your strengths, talents, values.
- Discover the variety of pathway options that confidently leads to further work or study regardless of your ATAR score or VET studies.
- Choose relevant subjects at important transition points (Yr 9, 10, 11) that lead to enjoyment at school and better choices post school.
- Have strategies to overcome personal struggles that are preventing you from finding your passion.
- Learn how to manage school, work and play to avoid exam and assignment stress

Parent Information
It is widely recognised that parents are the most influential force in a young person’s career and education decision-making. In this era of a rapidly changing world, selecting a career path has become very confusing for young people.
