We view careers education for our learners as developing their 'career through life' - a process of personal and social development which begins in the home and continues through adult life. 

Our careers curriculum provides constructive learning where by learners are given opportunities, experiences and responsibilities to equip learners for their adult lives, including teaching them to cope with changes, choices and making informed decisions.
