Fellowship is bonded by the shared experience of a Frensham Education. Service to Others is one of Frensham’s core values and each student is encouraged to live the challenge of our founder, ‘In Love Serve One Another’.
In fostering a spirit of service, our students are compassionate and willingly offer their support to others, even as they move beyond the School gates and into the world. As such, the Fellowship Committee wished to consider the ways in which it may enable alumnae to support one another in their professional development, as they fulfill this unique sense of duty.
Thus, the idea for a Careers Networking Evening was born. This event provided a platform for Fellowship Members, and a group of Year 12 students, to meet, share their journeys, and exchange insights as each of them navigate diverse career paths.
Held on the evening of Wednesday 8 May, in the Sydney offices of Evans and Partners, which were generously provided by Lucy Meagher (Rayner, 2007), the evening proved to be a dynamic and inspiring evening of networking and learning.
A highlight of the evening was an interactive panel discussion, featuring four members of Fellowship who each brought a unique perspective on their career progression from Frensham to today.
The panelists included Katherine Evans (2009) – Special Counsel at Sparke Helmore Lawyer, Annabel Hay (2015) – Inventor, Founder, Owner and CEO of CLUTCH Glue, Samantha Hutchinson (2003) – National Reporter for The Australian Financial Review, and Lucy Meagher (Rayner, 2007) – Senior Investment Adviser at Evans and Partners.
