 You can be certain about uncertainty… 19th May Many of us start our working lives long before we leave school. We model our beliefs, attitudes, pattern of study and work on numerous factors surrounding us. We prepare ourselves both emotionally and psychologically for ‘life after school’. But what happens next? We start our journey only to find out somewhere along the way, that what we thought isn’t. Our perception isn’t reality. Even worse, that reality may no longer be a reality forever. So what do we do then? Do we change our hopes, dreams, goals and perspectives? Do we fall apart? Do we fade into the background? Or, do we adapt and move on?

The Digi-Girls Program was developed as a response to these issues within a partnership between the then Ryde District Office and Northern Sydney Institute of TAFE NSW. NSI now runs the program spread across a broader range of techologies. Digi-Girls has targeted girls from high schools in the Northern Sydney Region for some years mainly attracting girls in Year 10 but the program has also included girls in Years 9,11 and 12. Co-educational schools were specifically targeted to provide girls with a different leaning environment in order to accelerate their interest and skills in Information Technology, as it was considered it was these girls ‘who were doing it hard’. The program now also includes girls from single sex and non government schools. Currently a Digi-Girls Program is run over two days culminating on the second evening with a presentation of the work the girls have done to parents and school representatives. The girls are taught by IT professionals with teaching qualifications who are specialists in their field. The girls are presented with a great deal of learning very quickly to get them feeling confident about their new skills for the presentation. There is a section of the program detailing the career possibilities of their new skills and a session with role models from the industry. 2009 Programs News Production School, May 28 and 29 2009, North Sydney College, Gore Hill Airbrushing School, June 30 and July 1 2009, North Sydney College, Gore Hill Robotics School, July 28 and 29 2009, Proposed: Hornsby College http://www.nsi.tafensw.edu.au/digigirls TAFE New England - Coonabarabran Campus Careers Expo Tafe Campus 16 Robertson St Coonabarabran NSW 2357 11 August 09 Provides extensive information to all 7 schools in our Shire: we have a number of smaller Central schools who travel long distances to attend.
