Engineering careers pathways
Dear Parents,
Engineering offers interesting career pathways, but with so many options, it can get confusing for high school students. Many of our boys at Princes are interested in Maths and Science career pathways, especially engineering careers. Therefore, I would like to help impart relevant information to those students.
Seeking to create a memorable and fun learning experience, Prince Alfred College will be providing 8 engineering stations (Piper Pavilion) accompanied by 8 different kinds of pizza (!) to the students here at Prince Alfred College*.
