As part of the school’s 10 Moments programme, IB students had the opportunity to welcome Mr Andres Varela for an engaging and insightful talk this month.
The session aimed to offer pupils a genuine perspective on the key decisions involved in choosing a university course and shaping an early professional path. Mr Varela shared a wide range of personal experiences, from the challenges of entering the job market to the lessons learned throughout a varied career.
Students particularly appreciated the open and relatable tone of the talk, which encouraged active participation and thoughtful reflection. Anecdotes from Mr Varela’s professional journey sparked curiosity and prompted lively interaction among the IB cohort.
The visit concluded with a highly enriching Q&A session, where pupils explored topics such as career motivation, adaptability, and long‑term growth. The school is delighted to continue offering opportunities that connect academic learning with real‑world experience.
