On an early morning in May, we welcomed six alumni back to Fahan for our inaugural Fahan Alumni and Year 12 2021 Networking Breakfast. Hosted by Principal, Penny Curran-Peters, the ladies joined six current Year 12 students for an animated conversation about life after School.
These bespoke events have been initiated to utilise the experience and knowledge of our young alumni to enlighten and inspire our Year 12 girls as they make plans for their future. Over the next few months, all our Year 12 girls will have the opportunity to join a breakfast and learn more about the journey after Fahan.
Year 12 student, Emily Roberts, wrote of her experience. “While many of us were tired from the early rise, the invigorating conversation over the alumni networking breakfast made it definitely worth the wake.
The visiting women were all recent graduates and had acquired a diverse array of experiences following their years at Fahan. While some were working in intense fields like nursing or construction management, others told us their luck of making a career out of their hobbies and passions such as sailing and theatre, and all of them remarked on the unexpected nature of their situations, which was a great comfort to those of us students who are still uncertain of our desires for the future. Encouraging living in the present and prioritising your self-worth, the ladies were generous with advice and descriptions of their lives post-School; a benevolent deliberation to better equip us for moving into adulthood.
It was a remarkable event with pleasant company, only enriched with the comforts of fresh pastries and a warm heater to fight the winter cold. I am certain the following breakfasts will provide clarity and support for the other girls just as much as it did inaugurally for us”.
If you graduated from Fahan School between 2010 and 2020, and would like to join one of our Alumni Networking Breakfasts, we would be delighted to welcome you. Please contact us for further information.
