📣 Could you help inspire the next generation at our Careers Fair? 💼

We're hosting our Careers Fair on Thursday 22nd October 2026, 9.15-5pm, and we’re looking for parents, carers, local businesses and organisations who would be willing to host a stand and share their career journey, company or opportunities with our students.

We’re particularly keen to hear from anyone who can offer insights into early careers, recruitment, apprenticeships, work experience or volunteering within their company. Your experience, advice and connections could help our young people discover new possibilities and take their next steps towards a successful future.

📧 Interested in hosting a stand? Please contact Rebecca Page, Head of Touching Hearts & Careers, at [email protected].

🔁 Please share this post with friends, family, colleagues and local businesses who may be interested in getting involved!

This summer, Miss Wilson travelled to Scampia, Naples, as part of the Lasallian Fraternity in Action volunteering programme.

Alongside supporting local children through football, arts and crafts and trips to the beach, they took on practical work to improve shared spaces: clearing overgrown areas, building a volleyball court, and repairing a broken table tennis table, among other maintenance jobs.
