Careers Convention
Our annual Careers Convention is on Thursday 27th November 2025 from 6pm to 8pm, and it takes place across the Stuart and Lancaster buildings and in the Main Hall.
Students of any age, and their families, are invited to join us to find out about different career and education pathways. With over 50 providers attending, able to offer advice and guidance in their field, there will also be a range of talks offered during the evening.
