The Newington College Careers Expo is rapidly gaining a reputation as something of a drought breaker. For the third year in a row, the heavens opened up on Expo day. We are thinking of moving it a few weeks earlier next year.

Undeterred, a sizeable crowd attended this important event on Tuesday 4 June. Centenary Hall was resplendent with the various Universities, Colleges and institutions that make up the wide variety of options available to the modern student. Deputy Head of Stanmore (Academic), Trent Driver was compelling and entertaining as he busted many myths about the university application process. A wonderful throng of Old Newingtonians and parents provided the boys with the wisdom of their experiences in the wider world, including a dozen current university students who shared their study stories.

Special thanks to Director of Community and Development, Rod Bosman (ON 1978), Mr Driver and the catering staff for their support.

No amount of thanks can repay Careers Admin Assistant, Sabine Tanase, for the mountain of work she put in to ensure The Careers Expo is one of the smoothest events on the Newington calendar.
