With their&nbsp;minds&nbsp;honed into thinking of their interests and the subjects that&nbsp;they currently enjoy, they were ready for the next step. By the afternoon the hall was buzzing with the excited hum of voices as our second&nbsp;careers&nbsp;event got into full swing. A selection of parents arrived on the stage to offer an individual five minute pitch to the boys, in order to whet their appetites and encourage them to explore the possibilities of a&nbsp;career&nbsp;in: Law, Hospital&nbsp;medicine, Dentistry, Cryogenics, Sustainable Architecture and Design, Entrepreneurial&nbsp;Property Development, RAF\/Commercial Pilot, Academic Research and Mechanical Engineering. Year 8 had a 10 minute time slot with each of their possible&nbsp;career&nbsp;choices with opportunities to ask questions and explore a range of resources from, tooth fillings, robes and medical equipment to viewing and simulating open heart surgery. We all certainly had our eyes opened to the world of work and the path it may take to arrive at our destination.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13 June 2017 The pupils developed a thirst for exploration of possible work opportunities when Michael Triff from the Senior School introduced&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14046,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[67,61,60],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academic-news","category-event-news","category-news-categories"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
