6th Form Careers Evening with the Old Abingdonian Club

The Old Abingdonian Club, Abingdon School’s alumni association, will host its 6th annual 6th Form Careers Evening on Friday 15 November 2019, 5.45 to 9pm in the Yang Science Centre. At this event, OAs at various stages in their career will share with 6th Form students their insights into their current occupation and the choices they have made along their career journey to date. The event helps to inform pupils of options to pursue after leaving Abingdon, as well as gives them insights that might influence longer-term career planning. Next week, your son will learn about this event at Friday morning assembly and then receive an email inviting him to register for the event by Friday 8 November. Please find a moment over the upcoming half-term break to encourage him to attend. Thank you for your support! Questions? Email michael.triff@abingdon.org.uk.

This is a fun evening to test your general knowledge, seeing if anyone can beat the coaches – the habitual winners! All age groups and guests are welcome. You do not need to make up a team; we will put you together with other parents in your son’s year group. Boys tend to make up one team per year group.  If you already have a team, just email [email protected] and let us know the team name and members.
