Careers Expo with Loreto Old Scholars

Last Wednesday, we welcomed back 18 Old Scholars as part of the 2026 Careers Expo for students in Years 10, 11 and 12. It was so wonderful to see the Old Scholars return to the College to share their experiences, insights and career journeys, giving our students valuable real-world perspectives on the many pathways available to them.

We feel so fortunate to be part of such a generous and connected community. Our Old Scholars gave their time so willingly and thoughtfully, helping to inspire and guide the next generation with honesty, encouragement and wisdom. Opportunities like these are a lovely reminder of how fortunate we are to have a community of Old Scholars that continues to support our students, ensuring they leave school with a broad and confident understanding of the opportunities ahead of them.
