Careers update
Year 10 work experience
Our Year 10 students were very lucky to be able to attend work experience for the first time in a few years. The students were in a range of different locations and enjoyed being able to be part of a workplace and to see first-hand what their chosen career involved. We are very appreciative of the support that our employers provided and the effort they went to in ensuring our students had a productive week. They gave some wonderful feedback on the professionalism and attitude of our students. Our students were placed in a range of careers including:
- Veterinary
- Dentistry
- Physiotherapy
- Interior Design
- Occupational Therapy
- Medical Research
- Child Care
- Education
- Retail
- Photography
- Accountancy
Future Insights Day
On Thursday 11 August, Shelford will run a special Future Insights careers event.
We welcome parents and students to join us in the hall with special guest Tyson Day from Arrive and Thrive. Tyson will talk about the importance of career path planning and what you can be doing now to prepare for your career post-school.
| Time | Activity |

Booking link will be distributed on Shelly shortly for the breakfast presentation and will close on Thursday 4 August.
Students will then be asked to nominate two sessions to attend based on their career interests. This will be completed in their wellbeing sessions. We have around 30 speakers from a range of careers coming to talk about their training and to give an insight into their job. Students will be given an opportunity to ask any questions they may have. We are really looking forward to this event and it will be a fantastic way for students to connect with people working in a career that they have an interest in.
