What we offer at 糖心Vlog

Empowering students to go one pace beyond Year 12

The Pathways and Course Advisor at 糖心Vlog is Mrs Lucy Paske.

Each year Mrs Paske meets individually with each Year 10, 11 and 12 student to discuss career pathways and subject selections.

Below are the ways in which each senior secondary year level explores their future pathway options.

Learn more about what we offer to Year 11 and 12 students in the flyer below.
