The ARIS University and Career Guidance Department uses Unifrog, a comprehensive and globally recognised platform that supports students in making informed academic, career, and post-secondary decisions. Through Unifrog, students access global university and scholarship research, career exploration tools, and psychometric assessments that help them identify their interests, strengths, and personality traits. The platform enables students to connect their subject choices, extracurricular involvement, and personal experiences to future pathways. Our guidance programme is developmental and cohort-based, ensuring that students receive age-appropriate support at every stage of their secondary education:

• Year 9: Students focus on self-discovery and career awareness, completing
  psychometric assessments and exploring a broad range of career pathways
  to support informed subject selection.
• Year 10: Students deepen their career and subject alignment by researching
  pathways, skills, and qualifications, while also beginning to record
  experiences and reflections on Unifrog.
• Year 11: Students engage in pathway clarification and early post-secondary
  planning, exploring universities and programmes, developing their activity
  profiles, and preparing for future applications.
• Year 12: Students receive advanced guidance in university and scholarship
  applications, including university shortlisting, CV building, personal statement
  development, activity listing, and requesting teacher recommendations.
• Year 13: Students' application and transition stage. Students lock their final
  list, submit applications, record offers & scholarships, and attend transition
  workshops.

Unifrog also enables counsellors to track individual student progress, provide personalised guidance, and collaborate effectively with students, teachers, and families. Data from the platform supports informed decision-making and ensures students are well prepared for university, career pathways, and life beyond school.
