Biz Whizz, our careers club, takes place during tutorial time once a month on a Friday. Three guest industry experts come to share their experiences with students in Years 9-13 (aged 14-18), introducing them to the wonderful array of careers that are available, with students attending whichever one of the talks they’re most interested in. Our speakers usually talk about how they entered their profession and their career journeys, what they do from day to day, the qualities needed, information about their company or place of work, helpful tips and anything else that might be invaluable for our students to know as they consider their options for the future.
We have had an amazing array of speakers during the past few years including all sectors of industry, Science, The Arts, and business, with just some of our recent visitors below. We are most grateful for all our speakers who share their time and passion about their world of work with our students!
