Tintern Grammar Careers Night – ‘Find your Future Self’

Our recent new initiative involving alumni sharing their experiences and having a ‘Career Conversation’ with our Years 9 to 12 students and families was a great success. This evening was a unique opportunity to find out about Career pathways, different industries and explore different areas of interest.
