Guidance

Senior Presentations

Students will maintain a vocational portfolio for the duration of their education at Lancaster Mennonite. Advisors guide students in reflection of their experiences and some portfolio pieces will occur in class. Students use documents from their portfolio to give a presentation in their senior year of high school. The goal of a senior presentation is for students to reflect on their life so far, appreciate those who have nurtured them and to anticipate their future.

The Portfolio and Presentation will help students to:

• Discover their interests, skills, passion and God’s calling in their life, realizing that this discovery is a process and not a conclusion.
• Reflect upon stewardship of God-given gifts and resources
• Discern their personal characteristics and Christian ethics needed for a vocation
• Become aware of how their potential career can be Christ centered and missional
• Review their personal high school plan in light of their current vocational goals
• Select post-secondary opportunities that match their personal vocational interests and goals
• Senior Presentation Rubric
• Senior Presentation letter to parents
• Senior Presentation Handout
