On Friday, June 6, Kingsgrove High School (KHS) proudly hosted its fifth annual Future Links Careers Expo, welcoming over 40 industry exhibitors and students from Kingsgrove North High School, Beverly Hills Girls High School, and Wiley Park Girls High School for a day of exploration, inspiration and opportunity.
Held at the KHS campus, the event commenced with an Acknowledgement of Country by the KHS School Captain, followed by a warm introduction from the event’s Master of Ceremonies and KHS Careers Adviser, Artemis Theodoris.
Ms Theodoris highlighted the importance of the day: “It’s not just about handing out pamphlets—it’s about igniting possibilities.”
Principal Olga Sofo reflected on the event’s growth: “Over the past four years, this Expo has grown significantly — both in scale and in impact. What began as a small school initiative has evolved into a cornerstone event… bringing together a wide range of universities, vocational education providers, industry leaders, and employers under one roof.”
She encouraged students to make the most of the day: “Your future is yours to shape, and today is one important step along that journey.”
Special guests included Georges River Council Mayor Elise Borg, Bayside Council’s Councillor Liz Barlow, representing Mayor Edward McDougall, and Director of Educational Leadership at Beverly Hills Principals Network, Clint White. Their presence underscored the importance of community collaboration in supporting young people’s futures.
The Expo featured a diverse line-up of exhibitors such as UNSW Sydney, The University of Sydney, TAFE NSW, ADF, JMC Academy, Academy of Interactive Entertainment, and the Australian Catholic University, as well as apprenticeship providers like NECA, 1300 Apprentice, and Apprenticeships Are Us.
Students engaged in conversations with university and industry representatives, exploring pathways across a broad spectrum of fields including trades, healthcare, technology, creative industries, defence, early childhood education, and more.
The event was supported by dedicated staff and volunteers, with participation from primary school principals, P&C representatives, and media.
As students explored future pathways and collected valuable insights, the message was clear: the power to shape their future starts today — with curiosity, confidence, and community behind them.
