On Monday 25th March, Year 12 attended the HBHS Annual Pathways Conference, a whole day in school focussing on their own individual post 18 career options. Jackson from ‘Aim a Little Higher’ captured their attention by explaining how to think big and build their dreams and not to chase them.
Students then choose from 11 different workshops from building your CV, finding an apprenticeship, what to study at university and how to apply, how to write the best personal statement and taking a gap year.
The Performing Arts department were joined by De Montfort University and Alumni and our artists were shown the range of creative careers many they would not have thought of.
Alumni returned to share their experiences on making the next big decision and what they wished they had done in Year 12.
We would like to thank all the speakers for joining us from Aim a Little Higher, The University of Kent, The University of Greenwich, Amazing Apprenticeships, The University for the Creative Arts, De Montfort University, Canterbury Christ Church University, CXK Ltd and ‘Academics’. It really does make a difference to hear about careers direct from the industry and support from different HE providers.
