Year 11 Students Explore Future Pathways at Dunedin Careers Expo
Senior Students Gain Lifesaving Skills in First Aid Course
Last Wednesday, Tokomairiro High School’s Year 11 students travelled to Dunedin to attend the annual Careers Expo—an important event in the school’s career development programme.
On the 8th and 9th of May, 22 senior students from Tokomairiro High School took part in a two-day First Aid course delivered onsite by Industry Training Solutions.
The expo provided a valuable opportunity for students to explore a wide range of tertiary education providers, training pathways, and career options. With representatives from universities, polytechnics, private training establishments, and industry sectors on hand, students were able to ask questions, gather resources, and gain insight into the many opportunities available to them after school. Students returned to Milton with a wealth of information, as well as a clearer understanding of the steps they can take toward their future goals. The day was both informative and inspiring, supporting students to make well-informed choices about their educational and career pathways.

Held in one of the school’s classrooms, the course offered a valuable mix of theory, hands-on demonstrations, practical application, and reflective learning. Students were engaged throughout and appreciated the opportunity to gain essential, real-world skills that could one day save a life. The programme not only covered core First Aid knowledge but also challenged students to think critically and act confidently in emergency situations. By the end of the course, participants had earned their NZQA-recognised First Aid certificates—an asset for future employment, volunteer roles, and everyday life. Students responded positively to the course, praising the interactive delivery and relevance to their lives beyond school. Opportunities like this continue to support the school’s focus on preparing learners for life after education.
