On 1 and 2 October, our Career Development team hosted two inspiring Career Days for our Junior School, a dynamic opportunity for professionals and organisations to connect with the next generation and ignite ambition in young minds.

Over two days, students were introduced to a wide range of fast-growing industries through interactive sessions led by passionate professionals. From technology and healthcare to tourism and engineering, our learners explored exciting career paths that opened their minds to new possibilities and helped them dream bigger for their futures.

Inspiring Possibility Through Real-World Exposure

For our students, who come from under-resourced communities, this kind of career exposure is truly life changing. Meeting industry professionals gives them a window into what’s possible, helping them see that success is achievable through hard work, education, and perseverance.

At Christel House SA, our mission goes beyond academic excellence. We prepare students for meaningful lives and careers. With 95% of our graduates studying, working, or doing both, our Career Programme plays a vital role in that success.

How You Can Get Involved

We’re always looking for passionate professionals and organisations to help us expand our Career Development Programme. You can make a real difference by:

• Hosting a student for job shadowing, vacation work, or workplace visits
• Offering internships or learnerships to senior students and alumni
• Speaking at one of our future Career Days
• Mentoring a student and helping guide their career journey
