CAREERS’ DAY<br />
@GIS<br />
Around 200 students, including visitors from<br />
GIS Bangkok and REPS, came to the Main<br />
Hall on <strong>September</strong> 27 for the event.<br />
Introduced by Head Student Rachel, the<br />
event aimed to give real-life examples of<br />
success in various professions and also to<br />
inspire students from Year 10 and above<br />
who are starting to think about possible professions.<br />
A dozen talks were given by various speakers,<br />
including Dr Iain Corness, a Consultant<br />
at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, Mr Stephen<br />
Street, who talked about international banking,<br />
pilot Tomasz Bankowics and Lonely<br />
Planet travel writer Mark Beales. Other topics<br />
covered were accounting, teaching in<br />
Early Years, engineering, marketing and<br />
science and research.<br />
Students listened to the talks then had a<br />
chance to chat and ask questions with the<br />
various guests.<br />
Many of the GIS students are currently studying<br />
for their IGCSEs or IB Diploma, which<br />
will give them a pathway into the world’s<br />
leading universities.<br />
