The week began with an introduction to ‘Your Future Starts Here,’ encouraging students to think about their ambitions. Personal Development sessions focused on ‘Life is for Living’, followed by an interactive careers booklet led by teachers, providing valuable insights into different professions and career planning.

Students also put their knowledge to the test with a National Careers Week Quiz, and additional careers-themed activities took place during lunchtime, offering a fun and engaging way to learn more about future opportunities.
