It was a fantastic evening, with OAs catching up and reminiscing with each other and their former teachers. Our thanks go to the staff and OAs in attendance that make this event so special, and to David Allison (1993, OA Club Committee President) for making our use of this stunning venue possible. Careers Evening On Friday 18 November 2016, 28 OAs and 90 boys gathered in the Yang Science Centre for the Sixth Form Careers Evening, which takes the format of a miniature professional conference. Boys took the opportunity to learn about the art of networking, received insightful advice from two OA panels about approaching the world of work, and discussed in detail career paths they are considering. OAs enjoyed giving advice that they may have benefitted from as sixth formers.
