Year 11
For most students, Year 11 brings a significant increase in workload, as homework and study becomes a core part of learning. Students may have to reconsider external activities if they have previously been juggling a number of sports, social and/or work commitments. Because of the changes VCE brings, planning for the future shouldn’t be left until Year 12.

“Karen’s genuine care and interest in directing me on the right career path was so comforting, making the daunting experience of changing careers a whole lot easier. Her ongoing commitment in helping me to achieve my goals was above and beyond what I ever expected. Karen was extremely generous with her time, often going out of her way to assist me in different areas of the job application process. Her knowledge, connections and expertise helped guide me into a job I now love and has given me much to think about for the future. I would not hesitate to recommend Karen to any of my friends and family.”

“Karen enabled my daughter to obtain employment and enrol in the course of her choice by providing her with the tools she needed to succeed. Karen’s knowledge is extensive and her ability to instil confidence is apparent in the outcome. Thank you.”
— Gill, mother of Laura
“Thank you so much Karen for your work with E, I almost want to cry. Finding your place within the workforce is sooooo important, I just want her to be somewhere that utilises her hard work, kindness and fun personality. We had a family chat at the dinner table last night and she said she feels much better and feels like she is now headed in the right direction and has some clarity of what she feels is going to best suit her. Thank you. I am very grateful for your help.”
— Tara, mother
“…both M & T are happy with their choices, but if they have any questions, I’ll reach out to you. I can say that your help was invaluable with them reaching their decisions, so I’d like to express my heartfelt thanks to you. You did get them through that difficult time when the choices in life seem insurmountable. It’s such a big decision everyone expects of young people but you really did help to give them some idea of who they are and where their talents lie.”
