Darfield High School students along with Whānau and friends made the most of their opportunity to engage with 25+ tertiary education and vocational providers from around New Zealand at the annual DHS Careers Expo on Tuesday, 03 May 2022. It was great to have some exciting new providers on board this year, including Fonterra and Road Metals, all helping to offer a range of learning opportunities that have encouraged our students to broaden their minds and think beyond the obvious about their futures and how they can acquire experience, qualifications and scholarships.

Representatives of the providers were very complimentary about the quality of our students' participation, interest and questions. It was obvious that students were getting the information and answers they needed to provide clarity on their chosen or intended path, what to expect, and how to go about obtaining their career and vocational goals. For others, it was the chance to see what options there are given the greater variety of providers present, coming away with invaluable information for their next steps at school and beyond. 

Darfield High School thanks the providers for their positive contribution to our students' learning, development and potential.  

To help with the next step conversations at home, students and their Whānau are further encouraged to attend the NZ Career Expo being held at the Christchurch Arena, between Thurs 11 and Sat 13 May 2023, 9:00AM to 3:00PM daily and 10:00AM to 3:00PM at the weekend. Admission to the Expo is free.

The Careers team is always available for further conversations around options and pathway choices. Just send an email to careers@darfield.school.nz with questions, or to arrange a meeting.
