One of the wonderful things about being part of the CCW alumni community is the opportunity to give back and support current students as they explore life beyond school.

As part of our upcoming Careers and Pathways Evening (Wednesday July 29) we would love to involve you and showcase the many diverse pathways CCW graduates have taken. Past students often underestimate how powerful sharing their experiences are.

Whether you are at university or TAFE, in an apprenticeship, working, have graduated, running a business, on a gap year, travelling, or still finding your way, hearing honest, real stories is often very inspiring for our current students. Our staff also love hearing about what you are up to, and it brings us immense pride.

How can you help?

We are inviting past students to contribute in one (or both!) of the following ways:

Careers and Pathways Evening – Wednesday July 29

Attend our careers and pathways evening (Wednesday July 29) to chat to current students about your pathway or what you have experienced post school (register your interest here):

AND/OR

Share your story!

Option 1: A short video (60-90 seconds)

or

Option 2: A photo with a short-written response

What to include in your video or with your photo

We ask that you briefly share:
- Your name and graduating year
- What you are currently doing (e.g. university (include the course name/uni you are at), TAFE, apprenticeship, work, business, travel, gap year, overseas experience, living on campus etc)
- How you got to where you are and any interesting insights (maybe how long you have been doing it, what the best thing is about your job/course etc)
- One piece of advice

If possible, we encourage you to show yourself:

-at university or TAFE
-in your workplace
-on site or on the job
-overseas or travelling
-in front of your business (why not promote it!!!)

Please don’t worry about production quality - phone videos and casual photos are perfect.
