What’s next after high school?
Is your child in Year 9 to 12 curious about their career choices? Now they can use LifeLauncher, a free online tool to explore and simplify their career choices.
Your child can explore courses and careers in-depth, at their own pace, anytime, anywhere and on any device. The tool includes 4,000 careers and 1,500 course options, all in one place.
How does it work?
Encourage your child to jump online and complete the 5-minute personality and subject quizzes to be matched to a range of career options that suit their passions and strengths.

Book yourself in for Reading Hour
This Australian Reading Hour, encourage your child to discover or rekindle their love of a good book. Take the time to learn, escape and relax on Thursday 19 September and read for one hour.
Reading has been shown to reduce stress by 68% more than listening to music, going for a walk, or having a cup of tea.
Take the Book Swap Challenge
We all have favourite books that we come back to again and again.
To help celebrate Reading Hour take our Book Swap Challenge. We want students, teachers, staff and parents to try reading something new on the day. To get involved, simply pair up with someone and swap your favourite books.
Take a photo and tag it with #ReadingHour so we can see how you got involved.
