Careers and Pathways Program
Students at Lalor Secondary College have access to a highly structured and intensive Careers Counselling Program. We are committed to offering our students the best possible support and guidance through our program, involving the development of individualised Careers Action Plans. Students in senior levels received individualised support with subject selection and deciding on post secondary pathway options. This program ensures that all students at Lalor Secondary College receive the appropriate support, information and education regarding the many post-secondary pathway opportunities.
The Lalor Secondary College Careers Website is an online up to date tool that students can access at any time on any of the programs, sessions and assistance available to our college students.
