Careers Newsletter

Welcome to this special edition of LAC's newsletter. I'm Mrs Mancer, the Career Advisor and STAR/Gateway coordinator for all students attending LAC.

This year, we have many excursions, special guests and fun activities for your child to engage in. More details can be found below and are advertised on our Careers noticeboard outside the library. While many of these activities are aimed at seniors, our new Careers area is designed for all ages to explore and discover different careers and pathways.

Cathy Mancer

You can now find me in the back part of the library. My door is always open and I look forward to helping your child work out what makes them tick and prepare for the world of work.

Cathy Mancer, LAC Careers Advisor
