On a very wet June evening, the annual Careers Expo was held across several venues on the Stanmore campus. Nearly 50 exhibitors set up in the Centenary Hall, creating something of a carnival atmosphere. These came from the major universities across New South Wales and ACT, private colleges engaged in everything from Early Childhood Care to Hospitality to Event Management, as well as TAFE and Defence. There were representatives from organisations involved in getting Australian students places in US Colleges and others involved in vocational pathways.

73 ONUs and parents formed panels in the Year 12 Common Room in the Rae Centre to address the questions presented by the boys. Industries represented included law, medicine, finance and banking, engineering and construction and many more. The experience the boys (and the Old Boys) get out of this exchange is very worthwhile and constructive.

We are always seeking assistance from Parents and Old Boys to add diversity for the students. It is always exciting to continue to bring the Newington Community together and help the boys explore opportunities in the workforce. The Career Expo will be held in June 2019 and we will be seeking expressions of interest from Old Boys, Past Parents and Current Parents to bring the community together.
