2023 Careers Day a huge success
The recent Northcote College Careers Expo was a triumph – with more than 70 speakers hosting workshops introducing students to a huge range of career choices.
The keynote speaker was careers consultant Debbie Driver, who also led 4 workshops during the day. We were also delighted to welcome back former head students Jack Lawton and Ruby Macomber as speakers.
Special thanks to Fiona Mackenzie and Charles Wallace for the huge task of organising the event.
And, of course, thanks to all our guest speakers, who generously gave their time to help students explore different career pathways.
