Careers Expo – Thank You

Thank you to everyone for supporting the Lower North Shore Career Expo this week. It certainly was a huge event with estimates of around 1500-2000 people attending. The addition of the “Human Library” allowed families to talk to current tertiary students and professionals across 40 career areas, which proved to be a great success, resulting in many meaningful conversations. We are so grateful to our participants for giving up their valuable time and sharing their stories. There were over 65 exhibitors from universities, private colleges, gap years, Consulates, Government and industry bodies which gave consistently positive feedback as to the quality of the questions asked by students and their respectful manner.

We are so fortunate to work with wonderful staff at Shore, and a massive thank you goes to Mrs Matilda Slade, who led the Events Team, including Mrs Catherine Cambridge and Mrs Lara Krawchuck, in making it happen. Thank you to the Student Careers Committee who were instrumental in showing guests where to go, Mr Huw Blood, Mr Brendan Morris and Barry House students and staff for managing the BBQ, the Facilities for all their work in setting up carpets, tables and chairs and transforming the basketball courts into an incredible display of opportunities, and IT and catering. A special thanks to Mrs Belinda Wilde and Mrs Danielle Wallis in the Careers team who worked extremely hard to ensure the event was a success and are a joy to work with.

Please complete the feedback form so we can make next year even better.
