We are looking for some willing volunteers for our fun and informative Work The Room Networking Evening on Tuesday 21st June 2022, 6.00-7.00pm. 

At BGS, we aim to give our students a well-rounded education. In addition to excellent academic results we look to provide them with life skills, so that they leave school as confident young adults. As part of this we run a workshop for our Lower Sixth students, called Work The Room, which focuses on helping the students develop good business networking skills. We feel it is important that the students understand that confident business social networking skills are an important part of making the right impression, helping to secure business relationships and to build networks.

Following the workshop we are looking for some “willing volunteers” to participate in a drinks reception style event for the students to try out their new skills.  We ask a number of friends of the school, alumnae and parents to be our guests to ensure a cross section of professional interests for the students and it is always nice to welcome new faces who haven’t been involved previously. If you would like to assist with the evening, or to find out more, please contact Emma MacKenzie in The Alumnae Office - [email protected] 

The students will be expected to work the room and we will ask you to provide feedback on how you felt the students presented themselves.
