Yesterday our Year 10 girls had an inspiring opportunity to work with our guest, Petya Zhechkova, from the University of Sheffield, exploring future pathways, big aspirations, dream jobs and the amazing qualities they already have that link to their career goals. 💫
A fantastic chance for our girls to raise aspirations, build confidence and see what's possible.
Thank you to Petya for running the workshops ✨
