The Santa Sabina, Beyond the HSC – Careers Networking Evening was held at the College on Tuesday 10 May. More than 200 students and parents from Years 10, 11 and 12 were treated to a wide range of ‘careers experiences’ that were organised by the Santa Sabina Dominican Ex-Students’ Association in collaboration with the College. The evening commenced in the College Hall with a question and answer session with a panel of 4 special guests from the Santa Sabina Community, each with very different professional backgrounds. After its completion, all those in attendance adjourned to the College library where over 40 ex-student mentors generously gave of their time to speak with students and parents providing valuable insights to their professions.
In addition to the presence of the mentors, the student ambassadors from the following universities were also in attendance and able to answer pertinent questions: Australian Catholic University, Macquarie University, Notre Dame, University of Sydney, UTS, UNSW and the University of Western Sydney. Experiences like this, where so many career and educational professionals gather in the one location with the specific intention to provide assistance for young people is rare. For those able to attend, such an experience was extremely valuable.
