Alumni Program

 

The Alumni Program was Health Industry focused on Friday, September 4 as two MGC alumnae who work at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre took part in Ourschool’s 1st Industry Insights Session.  These Industry sessions are exclusive to the schools participating in the Ourschool program this year – an added benefit we can offer MGC students!

Elizabeth Azidis-Yates, class of 2014, and Lia Dunton, class of 2010 joined a panel of speakers from Peter Mac to share career pathways with over 500 students from 18 schools who attended the virtual session.  Students heard firsthand accounts from radio therapists, a research assistant and wellbeing centre volunteer, a personal assistant, a medical physicist, and a nurse unit manager.  Over 180 questions were asked with some of the most thoughtful coming from MGC students.

Parents are welcome to watch the next session with their students – it will be business focused and will take place in early October.  Emails announcing registration requests will be sent by Ms. Mella Pescos, Career Coordinator and Lori Perry, alumni program coordinator.  Stay tuned!

Melbourne Girls’ College joined the Ourschool Alumni Program Foundation Service beginning this school year.  Ourschool is a not for profit service dedicated to helping public high schools establish and build their alumni networks to benefit students and strengthen public school communities.  With the term two switch to remote learning, the focus of our alumni connections moved from in person sessions to virtual career pathway and other class specific events.
