Futures Team @ Pymble

Future You Festival

Our signature Future You Festival was held in Week 7 and was designed to give the girls an opportunity to develop deeper self-awareness skills to perform interviews and opportunities to explore various industries.

This year, we teamed up with Upper School to deliver a week of Future You activities starting with two days of future-focused workshops and activities to help students prepare their thinking for post-school pathways.

On day 1, Kathryn Taylor from Turning Point Consulting presented in a workshop the meaning behind their motivational maps helping the girls understand how they are energised. Day 1 provided the opportunity to explore various interactive workshops led by academics and student ambassadors from UTS, UNSW, UTAS, Newcastle, ACU and University of Sydney. The students had an additional workshop from Kathryn Taylor on how to prepare for an interview. This was built on in self-paced online workshops.

On day 2, students listened to the career journey of four Pymble staff members and expert advice from HR experts from Commonwealth Bank, Coca Cola and Manpower Company. The two days concluded with all students receiving a mock interview from alumni and staff members.
