Careers Space 2019

Tuesday morning this week saw 29 past Emanuel students join us for this year’s Careers event, where the Year 11 and 12 students heard about these graduates’ many varied work and study experiences and journeys after leaving school, along with amazing advice and hints about opportunities awaiting the students after HSC. Following the Q&A style sessions, where presenters were grouped into six ‘like-professions’ including STEM, Business, Creatives and People Professions, all the students and presenters met up in the MPH for informal chats and a wonderful morning tea provided by our fabulous Canteen.

Please see details on the invitation here and RSVP by 7 June 2019 to: snewell@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au
