Save the date – Life Library 2026

This year we will again celebrate National Careers Week with an evening of career conversations in our Senior Library. During our inaugural Life Library event last year, guests from a wide range of industries and occupations shared their personal career stories and insights with students from Years 10-12 in small groups of three or four. If you would like to volunteer yourself or someone else to share their career journey, please contact me via email at awright@calvin.tas.edu.au.
