As featured in our recent school newsletter, a group of WSC students had the opportunity to attend the AAFRO Live2Learn Careers Expo on 5th June, an inspiring event delivered by AAFRO in partnership with the University of Melbourne. The expo provided students from African Australian backgrounds with valuable insights into future study and career pathways, while connecting them with professionals, mentors and educational opportunities.

We're pleased to share with you this article published yesterday by the University of Melbourne, which highlights the impact of the event, and features a wonderful photo of two of our students:

Yesterday our year 10 students and families had the opportunity to attend the Careers & Subjects Expo, exploring a wide range of pathways, industries, training opportunities and future career options. It was a great afternoon filled with conversations, inspiration and valuable insights as students began thinking about their senior study options and futures beyond school.

A huge thank you to all of the exhibitors, organisations, staff, alumni, student volunteers and presenters who generously gave their time and shared their knowledge and experiences. Your support helps our students make informed decisions about their futures, and we look forward to seeing where their pathways lead!
