On Thursday, 9 October, the Events Centre was alive with energy as our Year 9 students welcomed 16 inspiring role models from across the community. This special event was designed to spark imagination and showcase the numerous exciting career possibilities available.
The morning kicked off with a fast-paced ‘Twenty Questions’ game, where students turned into detectives, firing off yes/no/maybe questions to guess each guest’s profession. The suspense built until the Big Reveal, when our visitors pulled out props and uniforms, transforming into their professional selves right before everyone’s eyes.
Next, students headed into smaller classroom Q&A sessions, where they met two different speakers. These relaxed conversations gave them the chance to hear real stories about each guest’s pathway, including the twists, turns, and lightbulb moments, and to ask their most burning questions face-to-face.
Our amazing lineup included a helicopter paramedic, a health psychologist, a tech founder, an illustrator, a builder, a lawyer, a pilot, an elite sports coach, and an aircraft engineer. With such a diverse mix of people and stories, there was something for everyone.
The students left feeling inspired, curious, and ready to dream big about their own futures.
