On the 20th May, the third and fourth formers of Marian Academy had their annual Career Day in the school’s auditorium. This was the third former’s first experience of Career Day and the fourth former’s second. There were many speakers which enlightened the already inquisitive students.

The first speaker was Dr. Joseph; who spoke on medicine. Dr. Joseph is also a member of Parliament. The second speaker was a representative of the Government Technical Institute, who was also accompanied by Mr. Yearwood, the school’s part-time Technical Drawings teacher. Third speakers were the school’s very own Sister Juanita and Brother Banda. They both spoke on Vocation. They shared their stories and how they experienced their callings. Mr. Derek Frank; the third speaker explained to the students the basics of management and many useful tips. The fourth and the fifth speakers enlightened the students on teaching. Dr. Hunte, focused on the importance of knowledge of Information Technology and the need for it’s use. The fourth speaker, Mrs. Thomas was a representative of The Cyril Potter College of Education. She spoke on how normal people dedicated their lives to educating today’s children.

At the end of the seminar the students were given evaluation sheets to fill out. Most of them, at the end, had a better idea of what career or field they would like to choose.
