On 4th July, Year 10 had an assembly from an external speaker to motivate them in their career paths and choices. Ste Hamilton is a ‘local boy’ born and raised in Willenhall, attended a local school, and is now a successful property developer in the area. Ste spoke to the pupils about his journey; from GCSEs at school, to part time work, and then taking opportunities to excel through networking and contacts.
Ste invited pupils up on to the stage to speak to the room. Employment skills and attitudes for success were discussed and pupils were keen to demonstrate their confidence, communication skills, resilience, critical thinking, dedication, collaboration and flexibility. Pupils that demonstrated these skills to the highest level and impressed the room and Ste were rewarded for their efforts.
A huge well done K. Gyan Baffour, C. Herpers, E. Oyewole-Omodunni for their efforts and rewards. A special mention also to T. Bailey who demonstrated resilience to the highest level in his ‘sales pitch’ of a product; proving that even when things might not go right in the first place, there is always the option and ability to try again and improve. Truly being the best we can be!
