Pathways Planning

As they enter Years 10, 11 and 12, our girls are deliberately prepared to launch confidently into life beyond Fairholme. All students are supported individually to make informed decisions about their current and future work, study and career options.


Each Fairholme student is assisted in developing an individualised action plan as part of the SET Planning process, tailored to meet their personal aspirations, interests and potential.


This can include assistance with:

  • acquiring school-based traineeships/apprenticeships
  • exploring TAFE vocational options
  • researching and completing tertiary qualifications whilst still at Fairholme College.

Senior Education Training (SET) Plan


Briefly in Year 9 and more formally in Year 10, students begin the Student Education and Training (SET) Plan process to assist in mapping out their Senior School years and career pathway. This is a compulsory education requirement and is a prerequisite for enrolling into some Registered Training Organisations (RTO).


At Fairholme College, our SET Plan team consists of our Head of Teaching and Learning, College Careers Specialist, Vocational Education Training Coordinator and other key staff. These staff meet together regularly with each student throughout their senior academic career to ensure that all students have a realistic and achievable set of goals during their Senior School phase of learning.


A student’s SET Plan will include:

  • Compulsory work experience
  • Volunteering and youth development programs
  • Higher Education in Australia and Higher Education overseas
  • Vocational Education Training including school-based apprenticeships, traineeships and TAFE.

Careers Development Framework


All Careers Development activities, sessions and discussions at Fairholme College underpin the information from the Australian Blueprint for Career Development which offers a framework for creating, strengthening and evaluating careers development programs for young people and adults.


The Blueprint identifies eleven career management competencies that help people manage life, learning about work from childhood to old age.


The eleven competencies span across three learning areas:

  1. Personal Management
  2. Learning and work exploration
  3. Career building


The competencies promote intentional career development, lifelong learning and life/work balance.


Whilst Careers Development is a key focus in the Senior School, the Junior and Middle School students are also offered opportunities to develop their own personal competencies through intentional career development sessions that are delivered throughout the Junior and Middle School curriculums.
