Career Curiosity Series - Environmental Science, Marine, Conservation

We are thrilled to continue our event series, Career Curiosity Series. This series will offer our Year 10-12 students valuable insights into tertiary education and various career paths from members of St Mark's community who share their post-school experiences. Based on student feedback to our Futures Team, each session will highlight a different sector.

This Career Curiosity event will focus on the Environmental Science, Marine, Conservation Sectors, featuring speakers from these fields. Students interested in careers in these fields won’t want to miss this opportunity. Even if you’re undecided about your future career, come along to explore and understand what working in these sectors could be like!

RSVPs are essential as a light continental breakfast will be provided.
