One of Caroline Chisholm Catholic College’s teachers is officially hot property.
Careers and VET co-ordinator Julie Pilioglou has been named in The Educator’s Hot List for 2020.
Ms Pilioglou said she was thrilled to be named on the list.
“It’s an honour to be recognised by the education industry. Our students are supported and encouraged to be the best they are called to be, and to be included with other great educators reflects the strong commitment we have to our young people and preparing them for their future,” Ms Pilioglou said.
The Educator Magazine is Australia’s only publication and news site for the most senior educational professionals and decision-makers.
The Hot List 2020 names the movers and shakers of Australian K-12 education.
Ms Pilioglou launched the college’s first dedicated careers website for students and parents – a one-stop-shop that connects to tertiary providers and their pathways. It also provides post-school options for those looking to gain employment.
The site has dedicated resources specifically for parents and encourages them to use the available resources to have meaningful conversations with their child.
During the period of remote learning, Ms Pilioglou established and ran a virtual careers and pathways channel using Microsoft Teams that included access to university and TAFE courses, subject selection, apprenticeship opportunities, and virtual tours of campuses.
She also moved the college’s annual careers week online, which included live talks with industry experts, pre-recorded videoes with former students, and daily quizzes and information to maintain engagement with students across all year levels.
Caroline Chisholm Catholic College principal Marco Di Cesare lauded the achievement.
“Julie has transformed the college’s approach to preparing its 1500 students across three campuses for life beyond secondary school with a much more personalised service. On behalf of the entire college community, we congratulate her for this outstanding recognition.”
