I also found this reaction unfortunate Krystal, though I guess it taps into misrecognition... or maybe just a lack of initiative/effort from the individual teacher. Also concerning was the teacher who targeted guidance about university towards the high achieving class. Hopefully that with a little more context, both examples are not quite as bad as they appear.
It was great to hear about careers advisors helping students attain places in experiential programs like the one about the Observatory in Canberra. Whether university, TAFE, gap year or work/work experience is going to be the next best step for a student, I think a whole school approach is important. A single dedicated teacher can affect change, but a cohesive team who has an understanding of the concepts in this course are going to be able to present and promote more opportunities to more students.
