BACKWe want our students to feel:
We strive to provide a connected and inclusive environment that equips students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to achieve their full potential and succeed in a rapidly changing world.
We provide up-to-date information, advice, and guidance through:
Students can attend a Careers Drop-In Session, with times advertised weekly in the daily notices and on RangiNET > Careers. One-on-one meetings can also be booked through our Drop-In Follow-Up system. Parent and caregiver enquiries are always welcome.
Students are encouraged to access resources in the Careers Hub outside of lesson time. Careers information and events are also regularly posted on the daily notices and the Career Centre pages of RangiNET.
During Term 3, Deans and Careers staff assist students with making their subject choices for the following year. Refer to Academic Programmes for details of subjects offered at the College and entry requirements for both tertiary study and on-job training pathways.
STAR – Short Introductory Courses Designed for senior students, STAR courses provide an introduction to future pathways or allow students to complete work-related qualifications such as First Aid and Defensive Driving.
Gateway & Pathways to Employment These specialised subjects, offered to selected Year 12 and 13 students, provide real-life skills to prepare them for the future. The programmes combine in-class learning with external industry-related courses and a work experience placement.

With a deep commitment to helping students discover and pursue their future pathways, I am privileged to lead the Careers Department at Rangitoto College. My background spans a range of roles in education, leadership, and career guidance, and I am passionate about supporting students as they navigate the many opportunities available to them beyond school.
My approach is rooted in inclusion and encouragement, helping students feel inspired by diverse pathways and prepared to be courageous in pursuing their aspirations. I work closely with students, whānau, and staff to provide tailored advice, workshops, and resources that empower our young people to make informed decisions about their futures.
The Careers Department is dedicated to fostering a supportive environment where every student can explore their interests and develop essential skills. I am proud to lead a team that strives to inspire and equip Rangitoto College students to confidently take their next steps as lifelong learners and contributors to society.
