The Parents Matter website is for families to connect with resources and information about career and job opportunities of the future, and the educational pathways to get there.
Families play a very important role supporting and advising children about further education opportunities. Family support and advice positively influences children’s choices about their own future. The type of support you provide your child about their future is as important as the support you provide them from primary to high school, and high school to years 11 and 12.
It is important to give it time – rather than focusing on making a decision straight away, listen and talk to your son or daughter about their interests and skills, and what they think they are good at and enjoy. Encourage them to make their own choices.
Below are links to resources that you can use with your child, or for yourself, to explore further education and career options after year 12.
