The Network provides networking, mentoring, work experience placements, mock job interviews, industry-specific presentations, the future-proofing Encounter Program and our signature networking and mentoring event \u2013 the annual Career Women&#8217;s Network Breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Events planned for 2026 include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Career Women\u2019s Breakfast on Friday 15 May 2026, from 7:00am \u2013 9:00am in Siena Hall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Law Careers Showcase (Term 2)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business Careers Showcase (Term 3)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encounter Program (November)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We would love for you to join us as a mentor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year over 110 mentors from diverse industries connected with our senior students and recent graduates, offering invaluable support, work experience and career advice. Their guidance has helped open doors and build confidence, ensuring our students are future-ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research shows that women are often hesitant to put themselves forward, particularly for leadership roles. This is why we are calling on our alumni and community members to champion our young women, to share wisdom, encouragement and real-world insights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in becoming a mentor in our Career Women&#8217;s Network, please complete&nbsp;the form below. Your involvement could make all the difference in shaping the future of our students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We look forward to working together again through this important initiative and building our Santa Sabina networks and connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSdaQtTtYU5g8FwaNHQ3WjLgvH8QPg19w3-t-_Ob7CfwKBRQ-g\/viewform?usp=header\">Register here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kindergarten 2027<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kindergarten enrolment interviews are now taking place for entry in 2027.
