Access to myfuture website for Years 9 to Year 12
The School will be continuing its subscription to the myfuture website for Year 9 to Year 12 students.
You will be pleased to know that students are now able to share the results of the My Career Profile activities with their parents, teachers and trusted friends. Simply by clicking on the Export to PDF button under the Results tab, a summary of the completed activities will generate a report which students can save and either send as attachment or print if preferred.
To assist our students, myfuture have created a series of short videos (or user guides ) with step by step instructions demonstrating the key sections of the website such as:
Sign up to myfuture, Logging in, My career profile, Career Bullseyes, and much more.
The videos are all less than a minute long and they will be a good way for them to familiarise themselves with the site.
