Year 10 Assumption College Careers Expo

Our Year 10 students visited Assumption College for their Careers Expo last Friday. The event featured 40 diverse exhibitors, ranging from local employers like Nestlé and the Mitchell Shire Council to various universities, TAFEs, and private colleges. Attending these expos is incredibly beneficial, as it provides students with direct industry exposure and inspires them to explore future career pathways.
