On Friday 10 July the school arranged a Careers Convention specifically designed to support students as they embark on their journey in making informed career choices.
A Careers market place was organised for Year 10 students from 9.15 am to 12.00 noon, which took place in the school hall. Pupils had the opportunity to gather information, speak to employers and representatives from educational institutions to help them consolidate possible future goals and what is required to achieve them. Exhibitors attending were from a range of higher and further education establishments, vocational opportunities, apprenticeships, public service sectors, professional fields and much more.
This was a fabulous opportunity to meet and access information from the experts and we were keen to encourage our year 10 students to embrace this experience before taking their next steps to future success.
