All our Year 10 students recently participated in a Careers Day which was aimed at exposing them to a wide range of future pathway opportunities.

The day started with an "Inspiring the Future" event where they had to guess the occupations of 8 local role models (including a number of TGHS Old Girls) who were dressed in mufti clothing before they changed into their work attire and told the students about their jobs.

This was followed by a "Leadership Workshop" by Anna Bolland who talked about being a positive force for change, personal branding & success.

In the afternoon the students participated in a "Trades Have a Go" session run by a number of businesses. They loved painting, hammering, wiring, operating a digger, driving the simulator & climbing inside the cars & Fonterra Tanker.
