STUDENTS in Years 10-12 at the Whitsunday Christian College enjoyed a taste of what the future might hold at a careers day last Wednesday, May 14.

Students who attended the day came to the school dressed up in the way they saw themselves as in their future careers.

The day itself was designed to expose students to a wide range of career opportunities and future job options.

It included a variety of guest speakers, businesses and institutions, all of whom provided the students with valuable information and insight into different career options.

Students particularly enjoyed the presentations by the Australian Defence Force, Queensland Fire and Emergency Services and Airlie Day Spa.

They participated in a range of activities, including online aptitude tests, identifying their key interests and an occupation study

The most exciting part of the day was when a helicopter landed at the college followed by a presentation by Heli Biz.

Staff at the school said the day was one of the highlights of the year for senior students and was enjoyed by all who participated.

Students who took part said they found the day helpful, interesting and useful for figuring out what to further their studies in and which universities to consider.

Staff at the Christian College thanked all those who contributed to the day, including Whitsunday Regional Council, the Queensland Police and Fire services, Australian Defence Force, McDonalds, MRAEL, Hamilton Island Enterprises, Airlie Day Spa, Heli Biz and the Central Queensland and James Cook universities.
