Looking to the Future

As part of their Careers Programme girls in Year 7 have been considering their options for the future and thinking about what type of career they might wish to pursue.

To aid their thinking the girls were challenged to dress up in “Big Me” mufti on Tuesday – i.e. come to school dressed in clothes to represent a career path they would like to follow. 

On the day there were a range of careers on show with girls representing a variety of roles including:  Doctor, Lawyer, Artist, Chef, Quantity Surveyor and professional sports woman. During assembly prizes were awarded to a number of girls named as the best dressed “Big Me”.

The girls also used the event as opportunity to support the “Big Me” fundraising initiative from the charity ActionAid. ActionAid mission is to change children’s lives in the world’s poorest places. Each girl was asked to make a small donation and the Year group were very pleased to raise £80 for this extremely worthy cause. £80 is enough money to fund 40 children, who would not otherwise be able to access education, to go to school for over a month.
