2. Careers with STEM
Thanks so much for the magazines. I had a
Year 12 student come in today, very lost and
disengaged. He only knows that he likes
computers and being creative. You should have
seen his eyes light up when I gave him one of
the magazines!! It was the best. Careers

The layout, stories, photos and entire concept is excellent.
As a tool with students it has been highly effective.
Colleagues have seized on its potential to expedite
appropriate learning. Careers Adviser, McCarthy Catholic

The girls liked the variety in the articles, it really
surprised them where coding could take them. I think
it really appealed to them on their level and the
university advice was also really useful.

10. Stereotypes
“The number one thing holding
women back is stereotypes.
The stereotype is that girls and
women are not as good at
math and science as boys and
men are."
