Over 200 girls from our Senior School and Sacred Heart High School Hammersmith gathered at the weekend for the Seniro Girls’ biennial Careers Forum. An exciting line-up of 33 speakers lay in store for them, from the fields of fashion and food, finance and fitness, medicine, media, law and tech, to name only a few. 

Keynote speaker Tim Boddy, Investor Relations Director at Vodafone, opened the forum with an inspiring speech, encouraging the girls to think, conversely, not about ‘the idea of a career’ but about their sense of purpose – what is it they love? What is it they are fascinated by?
These questions in mind, the girls went on to select four sessions to attend over the course of the morning; a tough decision with forum speakers hailing from such prestigious workplaces as the Foreign Office, Givenchy, IBM, India Today, the Royal Brompton Trust, YOU magazine and more.

During the mid-morning break a networking session was held – a time for the girls to meet with the speakers, ask all-manner of questions and even put wheels in motion for work experience.
A phenomenal success, both students and speakers alike took much away from the day. We would like to offer our sincerest thanks to our esteemed guests and staff, who gave up their Saturdays to provide such a rewarding experience for all involved.
