Careers Invitation
As the term seems to be rapidly hurtling towards the end, I would like to invite students from the Senior School to attend a Careers Evening here at the College on 10 June, 4.30pm to 6.30pm. This will not be a typical careers stall market, rather what I have organised is a number of women from different career backgrounds to come and talk to the girls about their career journey and where it has led them to. There will be four half hour sessions where students will be able to move to different venues to hear talks from these guest speakers. At the same time MWLP will be running another session of the “Parents as Career Transition”. This seminar was run last term and was well received by those who attended. If, as a parent, you would like to attend this seminar, please contact me here at the College.
Meanwhile please see some upcoming events you may be interested in.
