Once again, the annual Future Pathways Expo on Tuesday evening exceeded the expectations of both exhibitors and attendees.
Careers Administrator Jan Connor said that due to the strong support we are now getting from our school community, exhibitors are wanting to provide more interactive and visual displays to give our students the best that they can when visiting our Expo.
The Expo, spread over the two floors of the MH Building, featured information and advice from universities and training organisations, as well as interactive displays, faculty and subject rooms, NCEA information and advice from Deans.
Mrs Connor said, “For the last two years I have been getting approached by more providers, who hear of our Expo and want to join – so I expect we will be seeing more diversity with us next year.
“From the start of the evening, we had a steady stream of parents and students which was sustained throughout. Numbers were close to 3000, from not only our own school, but also our neighbouring Marist College family.”
She added, “Acknowledgement of the following needs to be made: the Security Team, who managed traffic and parking; the Ambassador team, who not only set up the Expo rooms but also assisted our providers with their gear, got them set up, kept them hydrated (making tea, coffee and providing water) and fed, plus being willing ushers on the Expo floor.”
