Today, our Year 10 students had the opportunity to attend an inspiring assembly focused on careers in the armed forces. Led by a serving member of the military, the session offered a fascinating insight into life in the army, including training, operations, and career progression.
Students were captivated by the presentation, which featured detailed information and real-world examples of military careers routes. They asked thoughtful questions and showed genuine interest in the diverse opportunities available within the army.
