As
I mentioned above… what do you for your career? Would you be
interested in sharing about your career pathway with our students? I am
always on the lookout for parents and Old Scholars who are able to invest some
time in enlightening and empowering our boys. A personal story always
goes down well. If you are able to support the Careers Office with
sharing at an event or in a class setting, please let me know. I am looking for
engineers, police officers, fire fighters, lawyers, doctors, mechanics,
politicians, pub owners, pilots, farmers, authors, teachers, veterinarians,
advertising gurus, astronauts, bankers, horse whisperers, podiatrists,
diplomats, university lecturers… and more! Please let me know if
you are available!
Additional note: If you
have overcome any learning challenges in your journey to success such as
dyslexia, would you be so kind as to also let me know? Our Student Success Team
is seeking inspiring speakers as well.
Additional note again: Do
you work in a business or organization that would be able to host a work
experience student from Year 11? Again, please let me know. Thanks!
Any questions? Feel free
to
ask!
It’s going to be an exciting year!
Kind regards
