The Careers Department delivered two workshops to the Lower Sixth at the end of term.

Firstly, Objective Travel provided a broad range of advice on how to travel safely and adventurously. Either on a two-week Ibiza holiday or three months travelling around South America as part of a gap year.

Secondly, students were split into three working groups for a carousel of activities about how to Create your personal impact. The Careers Department was supported by Chris Richardson, a current parent, who trains professional businesspeople in these skills. The activities provided a chance for students to practise introducing themselves to someone for the first time. To learn how to successfully network amongst a large group of people they did not necessarily know. Also, to understand how easily we judge others, and why they should carefully consider the impression they want to make.
