Westbourne College students join Careers with STEM Student Advisory Board

IB Diploma Programme 1 (Year 11) students Amelia and Alexander at Westbourne College Sydney have secured 2 of 7 coveted seats on the Careers with STEM Student Advisory Board.

“As I approach my final years of high school it’s my turn to give back to the community that gave me so much and inspire other students to find their spark in STEM, the same way media, mentors and opportunities once inspired me,” said Alexander.

As members of this student advisory board for the next 12 months, Amelia and Alexander will

• Voice on content that matters most to them

• Be directly connected with editors, journalists and STEM industry professionals

• Inspire fellow students with real, relatable career advice

• Build their leadership and communication skills while broadening friendship groups across Australia and NZ

“Congratulations to Amelia and Alexander on their recent appointment. This opportunity presented by Careers with STEM is a perfect example where STEM and Business are complementary. These two students demonstrate strong initiative and I’m delighted they will be contributing to the industry directly while building friendships across the ocean – they are certainly leaders-in-the-making,” says Patrick McGing, Principal.
