Hatfield making a difference - Building Futures assemblies Posted on: 25/03/2024

Hatfield making a difference - Building Futures assemblies

Throughout this academic year, De Havilland has endeavoured to instil in our pupils an aspiration to explore a diverse array of career options. This initiative is designed to inspire and empower the Hatfield community to contemplate an array of different career paths. Despite initial indications from pupil feedback suggesting aspirations towards careers as YouTubers, princesses and footballers, our objective has been to broaden their awareness of alternative career paths. The organisation of these assemblies has been a collaborative effort involving various stakeholders, including parents, local businesses, St. John's Church, and connections beyond our immediate locality. Each assembly is characterised by its high level of interactivity, culminating in a comprehensive question and answer session. One of our favourites has been from Nick Carter, an experienced explorer who has twice conquered Everest. His riveting accounts of survival techniques held our children spellbound, stimulating a profound interest in his experiences. Additionally, a representative from 'Foxes Biscuits,' while graciously providing product samples, explained how our mathematics curriculum equips them with the foundational knowledge and skills essential for financial acumen in adulthood. Furthermore, our parent community has made invaluable contributions by sharing personal educational journeys and careers including Nursery Nursing, being a fashion buyer for Boohoo and a PHD student fighting for equality in women’s sport. The resulting impact has been nothing short of transformative. Our pupils now pose sophisticated inquiries to our guests, delving into the intricate pathways between secondary education and the professional realm. They have gained a nuanced understanding that career fulfilment transcends mere financial considerations, demonstrated by inquiries such as, "What aspects of your job make you the happiest?" The exposure garnered through these impactful assemblies has left an indelible mark on our pupils' cognitive frameworks, fostering a paradigm shift in their perceptions.
