Building My Future: Portfolio Masterclass

Graduating students often find it challenging to present their achievements in a way that feels clear and authentic. The Portfolio Masterclass supports them through this process by guiding them in curating their strengths, evidence and reflections into a meaningful digital portfolio. Aligned with Achievers and Academy programmes, this workshop prepares students for post-secondary pathways such as DSA, EAE and scholarship applications.

Why Portfolio Building Matters

A well-crafted portfolio helps students tell their story with confidence. It highlights their growth, interests and learning mindset. During the workshop, students explore what makes strong evidence and how to organise their achievements in a simple and readable format. This helps them understand how selection panels review student submissions.

Students learn how to:

• Identify and frame their strengths

• Select evidence that supports their goals

• Reflect on key experiences

• Build a clean digital portfolio structure
  

Hands-On and Student Centered

The session is fully practice-based. Students work through their own materials as they sort achievements and draft personal reflections. They also learn simple design principles for digital layout, which helps them present their evidence in a way that is easy to understand.

To support post-secondary applications, the workshop includes short writing tasks that help students craft meaningful personal statements. These reflections help them prepare for interviews, panel questions and written submissions.

Inside the workshop, students will:

• Create a first draft digital portfolio

• Write short statements that express their goals

• Learn what DSA and EAE panels typically look for

• Build confidence in presenting their story
  

Support for Teachers and Students

To help schools continue this process after the session, teachers receive basic review guidelines and simple coaching prompts. Students also bring home templates and checklists so they can refine their portfolio as they progress into the next stage of their journey.

Preparing Students for Future Pathways
