Careers Roadshow discussion:Rachel and Deb were acknowledged for their
presence and participation in this discussion.
Objectives
of Roadshow: Acknowledgement that the Roadshow belongs
to the Far North Schools.
It works best to have a co-ordinator - as
Jackie Fowke has been.
Budget issues are impacting on planning
from tertiary provider?s point of view
Massey and
The hikoi works well - suggestion (Blue)
that Roadshow and hikoi be combined.
Timing is important - august a good time of
year - before subject choices and when starting to think about future plans -
works well for Kaitaia, Okaihau
Formats:Formats in schools shared - some schools
well organised, others not so - important for students to be focussed so they
get greatest benefit. Different activities discussed - questionnaires, tie in
with TRG.
Also - teachers need to be on board -
suggestion that an opportunity be given to teachers to 'mix and mingle' either
at interval or lunchtime with the tertiary providers - opportunity to update
themselves about future options for students - also re own PD possibilities.
Timing
and schedule:Dates and schedule of schools for 2009
discussed.Would Kerikeri take an afternoon/evening
spot on the Thursday ? had run an early evening event in the past.
