The Finance industry
Last week I ran a Women in Finance Q&A Panel for Year 12 students and some of the Year 11 Economics students.
We had 3 presenters from a range of backgrounds. Jodi Peterson, working with Perennial, was the MC for our event. Celine Kabashima, works for AMP, currently investing a $3bn portfolio and Sandi Orleow, an Emanuel parent, working in the Finance industry with a background in Accountancy. Each of the speakers spoke about how they got into the Finance industry and their own personal journey. The focus was on the industry and the path each speaker took to get there. The presenters gave up their own time as part of the F3 initiative to showcase the Finance industry to women and to encourage participation in this arena. (https://www.fthree.com.au/who-is-f3/). They highlighted what they loved about the industry itself, enjoying the many benefits of the industry and each speaker spoke about the skill sets they brought to the industry such as people, problem solving and managerial skills.

Notre Dame – Early Offer program
Students can register their interest with private university, Notre Dame. This smaller and more intimate university has credentials with high practicums for both Teaching and Nursing and a strong reputation with employers. Students who attend Notre Dame find the transition from Emanuel School to university life much easier due to smaller class sizes and a strong interest in pastoral care.
