Pathways & Careers

Pathways & Partnerships Program 

Siena Catholic College students in Years 7 – 12 will have access to the Catholic Schools Broken Bay innovative Pathways & Partnerships Program, where students are supported to explore their interests, understand emerging industries, and develop the skills required for the evolving 21st-century workforce. 

This forward-thinking program bridges the gap between classroom learning and the real world by blending academic study with practical experiences and industry engagement. 

Students are guided by dedicated Pathways staff who provide personalised career support, helping them to identify strengths and make informed decisions about their future. Career education begins in the primary years and continues throughout secondary schooling, ensuring a seamless and well-supported journey. 

Real-World Learning & Industry Connections 

We bridge classroom learning with real-world experience through strong partnerships with business, industry, tertiary institutions, parents and alumni. Students engage in meaningful career experiences that broaden their understanding of future opportunities. 

Families are supported through access to a comprehensive Study & Career Database, as well as career workshops and information sessions covering university pathways, apprenticeships, traineeships, School Based Apprentice Training (SBAT) and Vocational Education and Training (VET) options. 

Vocational Education & Training (VET) 

As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), Catholic Schools Broken Bay offers nationally recognised VET courses that contribute to the Higher School Certificate (HSC) and are recognised within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). 

VET combines practical, hands-on learning with essential academic knowledge and includes work placements. Some courses may contribute towards an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR), while others provide direct pathways into apprenticeships, traineeships or employment. 

Preparing Students for the Future 

Through these comprehensive pathways, Siena will ensure that every student is equipped with the confidence, capability and clarity to transition successfully into further education, training or the workforce, ready to lead, contribute and thrive in an ever-changing world.
