This week, as part of their Health and Wellbeing lessons, Year 8 had the opportunity to begin their exploration of the world of work and careers.
Guests visited from a variety of industries, from emergency services and education, to entrpreuers and cyber security.
The session began with a game of ‘Guess Who’, where learners had to attempt to guess the profession of our visitors, sparking discussions around career stereotypes
Then, each class had an opportunity to visit the Careers Fayre. Not only were learners able to gain some ‘hands-on’ experience of some of the professions, they were able to find out more about the different pathways available to them.
We were very impressed with the way Year 8 engaged in the activities, and the maturity they showed in their discussions. We hope this opportunity has given them a lot to think about, and perhaps sparked some ideas about what they would like to do in the future!
