Careers News:
Driver Licence Credits – recognition of prior learning
Awesome news! Obtaining your driver’s licence now comes with credits. If you have already gained your licence you are automatically eligible for these credits. To gain these credits you need to bring your actual licence to Mrs Mancer so she can verify, and fill in a short form for NZQA. You will then have the following credits added to your results: Learner = 2 credits at Level 1, Restricted = Learner credits + 4 credits at Level 2, Full = L+R+ 2 extra credits at Level 2 – making a full licence worth a total of 8 credits.
Career Planning Appointments
Over the course of the year, all seniors will have a chance to meet with Mrs Mancer to discuss their goals for the future. If you would like to start looking at what you might like to do before you meet, try the careers quiz on www.careers.govt.nz/tools. Click ‘Know Yourself’ then ‘Career Quest’ and follow instructions to complete. Please remember to share your results with cathym@lac.school.nz once you’re done. I look forward to catching up soon.
