This was the trebles’ first engagement under the baton of new Director of Choral Music, James Day, and they were rewarded with rapturous applause from a packed church. On a TIFFIN CAREERS FAIR – 19 NOVEMBER We are very pleased to announce that the second of our biennial Careers Fairs will take place on Thursday 19 November between 6.30 and 8.30 pm. We have over 70 contributors, including representatives from some of the major banks, law firms, engineering companies and medical professionals. The Fair is open to all students in Years 10, 11, 12 and 13. We expect that all boys will attend this superb event and we hope as many parents as possible will attend with their sons. This event offers an outstanding opportunity to find out about a variety of different career options across a range of employment sectors from finance to the creative arts, medicine to technology. With the chance to ask questions from ‘What does a typical day involve?’ to ‘What can I do to maximise my chances?’ There will be two time slots; however there is flexibility between these times if required.
