The Northern Bay Alumni

A Mayor, a curator of the Botanic Gardens and a Doctor in Philosophy…

All alumni from our Northern Bay College, and foundation school networks, that we have spoken to in the first few weeks, it’s going to be a great year!

We are excited to be back in 2023, enjoying the momentum from last year, and the awareness in our school community of our program. 

There is a lot to be proud of, and to celebrate in our alumni community. The alumni who we chat to have all been hard working, inspirational and have gone on to achieve great things. We are looking forward to all the opportunities to bring in alumni into Northern Bay to enrich the school curriculum this year. 

 

Alumni Events Term 1:

Study Tips Session

We started the year with a session to our Year 12’s on study tips. The session included our guest speakers Jessie Blackney (2020) and Samson Gatwech (2022) who spoke about their time in Year 12.

Their time at school is still fresh, and the students were able to hear 

Jessie and Samson’s tips, strategies, and ideas, for getting the most out of senior year, and how to best juggle study, a social life and work.

 

We are excited for our Year 12’s, and the year ahead, and can’t wait to meet them as alumni on the other side.

 

 

VM career planning – alumni guests. 

Our VM students are getting ready for their year, and thinking about careers, and we loved having Tony Harvey, Shae Charlton and Sarah McNiven return to school and speak to the students about their career paths.

Our guests’ industries were quite broad: farming, interior design and marketing, and their pathways into their roles were all different, but all interesting. Being able to ask questions, and hear first-hand, how to navigate life post-school and into a career is  invaluable to our students.

We are always growing our network:
