A Unique Camberwell Girls Program

Social researchers are predicting that Generation Z, our current Years 7 – 12 students, will have at least 18 jobs, across six different careers/industries. An ongoing priority at Camberwell Girls is to support our students to develop agility and tenacity in the way they learn and experience the world, so they are truly prepared for their future.

To complement our curriculum, we have developed Upskill, a unique Camberwell Girls program designed to expand capabilities and equip students with a solid set of transferable skills that are:
> applicable to all industries
> can be applied in all contexts
> highly valued by employers and society as a whole

Why?

How?

What?

The 21st-century learner is digitally savvy, socially engaged, enterprising and entrepreneurial. While they are still hungry for foundational knowledge and skills that are part of all subject disciplines, our students and their employers want more.

Partnering with universities, external organisations and industry experts, the Upskill program delivers age-appropriate, relevant, engaging and immersive learning for all our students.

Students can earn stand-alone microcredentials that certify their achievements in specific skills or capabilities. These credentials contribute to each student’s digital portfolio, which they can share with employers and tertiary institutions.

The programs across Years 7 – 12 have all been designed to ‘upskill’ our students.
