On the evening of Tuesday 14 June Newington hosted the P&F Careers Fair, an annual event aimed at bringing Year 10,11 and 12 boys and parents the latest information about applying for tertiary institutions and beyond.

With three separate events running simultaneously – the Careers Expo in Centenary Hall, a boys and Old Newingtonians meet and greet in the Year 12 Common Room and a Tertiary Admissions seminar in the Old Boys Lecture Theatre – it was a busy and productive evening for all.

We had more than 54 organisations, involving 109 presenters, alongside 55 Old Newingtonians in attendance. Many Year 10, 11 and 12 students and their parents were able to gather resources and discuss career and university options with the range of attendees giving them a greater understanding of the scope of options available to them after they leave the College.

Deputy Head of Stanmore (Academic) Mr Trent Driver led the Seminar in the Old Boys Lecture Theatre. He spoke about the various tertiary options available to the boys – a copy of his presentation can be found on the Careers SPACE.

The feedback suggests that it was a very successful night that may have far reaching implications for the boys.

While many people helped to make the night a success, one person above all deserves tremendous credit and that is Ms Sabine Tanase, the Administrative Assistant of the Careers Department. She has worked tirelessly to ensure a wonderful experience for all.
