Supporting Every Student:
What’s Happening in Student Services?
Welcome to the Term 1 wrap-up and Term 2 preview from the Student Services Team! It has been an incredibly busy start to 2026, and our mission remains the same: ensuring every student at Greenvale Secondary College feels supported, included, and empowered to reach their full potential.
Meet the New Faces on the Team
We are thrilled to welcome four new specialists to our growing Student Services Team. Their expertise will be vital in guiding our students through their academic and personal journeys.

Year 11 Structured Workplace Learning (SWL)
Year 11 Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) provides students with valuable hands-on experience in an industry aligned with their studies. It is an important opportunity to build workplace skills such as communication, teamwork and initiative, while gaining insight into potential career pathways. Students are encouraged to take an active role in securing placements. Starting early and using personal networks can improve access to quality opportunities, particularly in competitive industries. The Careers Office is a key resource in this process. Students can book Careers Appointments for support with sourcing placements, preparing applications and understanding workplace expectations. This also providing access to resume builders, job information and career planning resources. Engaging with these supports will help students secure meaningful placements and make the most of their SWL experience.
Morrisby Profiling and Interview
In August, Year 9s will participate in and undertake online surveys that will profile them with potential career paths. For all completed profiles, students (and parent/s invited) will be scheduled for a 30 min interview in Term 4 between 5-9 October with a Morrisby Careers Practitioner to unpack and discuss results of their profile survey. The aim of Morrisby career profiling is to assist students explore their interests, aptitudes, and potential career paths, contributing to developing their Career Action Plan (CAP) and an approach to build goals and pathways, which will be the basis of preparing for the year 10 Work Experience Program, subject selections, work placements and future career decision making.
