This year we have connected some of our Year 11 students with old-collegians who work in the field where our students wish to build a career. The program, called Nexus, has been very successful, even though the adversity of COVID restrictions. The students have developed wonderful mentoring relationships with people who are experts in their field. Not only has this given the students an insight into a career, but, in many cases the relationships have had added experiences and benefits for the student, such as invitations to seminars, visits to workplaces (pre-COVID) or the provision of materials. The students have loved the experience and the mentors have found it very rewarding. We have mentors supporting the students from the fields of; medicine, policing, pharmacy and commerce, we will be looking to continue and expand this project in future years to take in many more fields of work.
