On March 5th, we hosted our annual Careers’ Fair and it was lovely to welcome back many of the previous contributors as well as lots of new faces. There were 46 contributors from our OR, parental, and local community, including two more recent leavers, Millicent Davies, who is working in Logistics and former Head Girl, Maggie El Beleidi, who has now embarked on a career in Politics.

There was a great atmosphere in C-Hall as our students and students from local state schools attending the Roedean Academy, visited the fair. They explored the stalls that represented a fantastic range of sectors including Medicine, Engineering, Fundraising, Creative, Performing Arts, Law and more.

The feedback we received from the contributors has been wonderful, Julie Searle, BIH Ltd said:

"Thank you for having us yesterday at the Careers’ Fair. It was great to talk with so many students from Roedean and Brighton schools – they asked very intelligent questions, and I am sure they will be keen engineers of the future. This made me and my colleague happy for the future women in STEM, and young people of their calibre will help us confront the challenges facing our society in the future.”

Kerry Harding, RISE Charity said:

“The questions the girls were asking were really thoughtful and interesting. Lots of girls asked a lot of questions about fundraising activities. They were looking for ideas to help them raise funds for the charities that each year-group supports. They liked ideas like quiz nights, bake sales, and fun challenges. It was very evident that Roedean instils a strong sense of social responsibility in the girls, and they are learning that charity work is part of community life. This is a huge credit to Roedean School; you should all be very proud.”
