At this seminar, UC Career Consultant Dave Petrie will talk with parents about how to support their children in making informed decisions about their futures.
Parents and caregivers of secondary school aged children (Years 9-13) are invited to attend one of three free seminars which will cover:
- The world of work: looking forward
- How to make informed career decisions now and in the future
- How parents can assist
- Career development resources
Light refreshments will be available after the seminar. This seminar is being held on 9 August and repeated on 16 and 23 August – so choose the one date that suits you best.
Dave Petrie is a Career Consultant with the UC Career Centre, helping students to identify, plan for, and pursue appropriate careers, internships and employment opportunities. He has over 20 years’ experience working in the career and employment field, including seven years involvement in Career Education in Schools with Careers New Zealand before joining UC.
NOTE: This seminar is NOT about study options at the University of Canterbury | Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha (UC) – it is designed to help parents to help their teens consider ALL their options, whether this is work, university, polytechnic, an apprenticeship, private providers or other possibilities.
Please register as spaces are limited.
The game will not be broadcast on TV so make sure you get yourself to AMI Stadium on August 10!

These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.
No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.
Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.
Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.
