Alumni visit

This week, alum Dr Yolanda Esteban (1996) popped in to view the exhibition of art from our years 7-10 students. Yolanda is Associate Head of School (Teaching and Learning) in Deakin University's School of Architecture and the Built Environment. She was particularly interested in the design portfolios of the year 10 students. Yolanda also spoke with STRIVE coordinator, Sarah Hanan, about how she can be involved in the research and presentation phase of the students' inquiries. 

It was great to see Yolanda have time to fit North Geelong into her busy schedule. 

I'm on the search for alum who would like to assist with either the KLA-based VCE information session for year 9 and 10 students and/or the Careers Day for Year 10 students. 

The first session is on Monday, 16th July during periods 1 and 2 (8.47am - 10.26am) and will be led by Key Learning Area managers. You would accompany the KLA leader when the students leave the main presentation - information regarding subjects in each area, any pre-requisites and possible pathways after studying a particular subject. Your role would be to briefly introduce yourself and explain how studying a particular subject/pathway assisted (or not) in the pursuit of your chosen career. It's a very informal role - you're not being asked to speak in front of a large group; just interested Year 10 students. This session would be followed by an informal morning tea.

The second session is Year 10 Careers Day, to be held on Monday, 27th July, during periods 5 and 6 (1.32pm-3.10pm). This session involves a panel of participants taking part in a question and answer discussion, led by the Alumni Program Coordinator, using as prompts, your answers to previously shared questions. After this, panel members would locate in different positions around the gym and field answers to questions from students. Once again this is a fairly informal affair.

If you think you could assist with one or both of these events, please get in touch (alumni@ngsc.com.au) for further information. If you are a past student, we'd love to see you back at North Geelong Secondary College!
