Catholic College Sale Pathways Expo Welcomes Over 800 Guests

Catholic College Sale proudly hosted its annual Pathways Expo Evening, with more than 800 students, families and community members attending the event. The outstanding turnout highlighted the strong partnership between the College, families, and the wider community.

The Expo provided an invaluable opportunity for students and their families to explore a wide range of career options and future study pathways. Attendees were able to engage directly with education providers, training organisations, and industry representatives, gaining insights into the evolving employment landscape and future job opportunities within the region and beyond. Students also got to chat with subject teachers at CCS, and we sincerely appreciate the teachers giving valuable advice to our students.

Former student, Prue Nowak (Class of 2020), now an Accountant at DMG Partners, returned to the College as part of the evening.

“It was great to be back at the College providing support and advice to the younger students,” Prue said.

Principal Brett Van Berkel said the success of the evening reflected the College’s commitment to supporting students as they prepare for their next steps.

“The energy in the stadium was incredibly positive, and the diversity of outside providers created a real sense of possibility and direction for our students. We are deeply grateful to the many providers and industry representatives who generously gave their time to share valuable insights into future job opportunities and the evolving employment landscape in our region.”
