Making successful career choices can be challenging, but our Careers Evening aims to simplify the journey by equipping students with valuable insights and guidance from industry experts. This year, 34 diverse organisations, many represented by our parents, graciously shared their expertise and experiences with our students. We are sincerely grateful for their participation. Many professionals commended the students for their curiosity and, in some cases, their impressive prior knowledge about the careers discussed. Below are some reflections from students on this impactful event.

Careers Evening at our school was a very insightful and enlightening experience that has left a profound and positive impact on me. It featured a variety of representatives from different careers including lawyers, doctors, consultants, and more, providing key information about their profession. I enjoyed meeting and having conversations with three of them: the Institute of Economics and Policy Research, UNDP/ Geospatial Engineering and Space Technology, and a consultancy firm, Rebel. These interactions helped deepen my understanding of those fields. It was enthralling to hear how some of those jobs affect our daily lives so much! One of the most inspiring takeaways was hearing how the consultancy firm Rebel has navigated challenges and developed creative solutions. Overall, it was an exciting event that has truly broadened my knowledge of several fields and left me with invaluable information that I’ll carry with me moving forward. My most sincere gratitude to the school for organizing the Careers Evening and providing us with this enriching opportunity.

"The Year 9 Careers Evening was truly informative and very helpful. It has been a great avenue to explore the various careers that exist and understand what qualifications or skills are necessary for different professions. Representatives from various industries were present to share experiences, and for questions, therefore giving a realistic insight into what certain jobs entail. The workshops were interactive and provided a hands-on feel for the kind of skills needed in the different fields. It helped me to think more clearly about possible career paths and how to plan for the future. In general, it was a valuable event, and I'm glad I attended.
