The Upskill program is a dynamic learning program unique to Camberwell Girls, which equips secondary students with real-world skills, industry connections and hands-on experiences to support their academic success, wellbeing and future career pathways.
Extending learning beyond the classroom, Upskill blends academic study with wellbeing, technology, leadership, and Service Learning. Through Upskill, students build confidence, employability skills, and leadership qualities. They also earn credentials that support future study and career opportunities, which are recognised on their end-of-semester reports.
Upskill is delivered on dedicated days throughout the year through excursions, incursions, masterclasses and workshops led by teachers, universities, industry experts and students. The program is carefully tailored to each stage of schooling.Â
In Middle School (Years 7 to 9), Upskill focuses on building community and self-awareness while encouraging curiosity and exploration. Students engage in learning that develops their understanding of: design and digital technologies, leadership, careers and future education, leadership, Indigenous learning, and transferable skill development.Â
At Senior School (Years 10 to 12), Upskill is designed to complement VCE study by offering targeted masterclasses that deepen subject knowledge and support academic success. Students are provided with opportunities to build industry connections and gain practical support and guidance about their future tertiary and career pathways, as well as further develop a range of employability skills.Â
