Education and Career Guidance
St. Margaret’s Secondary School has a robust and developmental Career Guidance Programme that has been in place since 1999.
To help our students to be informed of making the right choice of continuing their education in a junior college or polytechnic as well as the various Junior College subject combinations available to them, the school organises an annual Career Fair for the graduating cohort. This is aimed to allow them to have a vision of where they see themselves in the near future and it would be useful for our graduating classes who will be making their decision in the coming year.
The school also organises an annual Professional Guidance Day for the graduating classes as part of the larger Career Guidance programme which seeks to give our students more information about the professions they are interested in and provide insights on the realities of the workplace. This helps them make more informed decisions when planning their post-secondary education and the courses they want to pursue upon graduation.
As part of the school’s vision of enriching our students through learning beyond the confines of the classroom, we have in place the Work Attachment and Work Experience Programme. Our students explore their career interests through these industrial attachments and are able to make more informed choices about their subjects and post-secondary choices.
Objectives
Students will:
- Learn more about the different occupations available in the real world;
- Discover their own aptitude and talents;
