Our Year 12 students recently took part in mock interviews with real employers—and what an incredible experience it turned out to be!
We welcomed 10 fantastic employers from a range of industries, including engineers, personal trainers, and local business owners. Each student had the chance to sit down face‑to‑face with a professional, answer real interview questions, and receive personalised feedback to help them grow.
Why are mock interviews so valuable?
Mock interviews help students:
- Build confidence in speaking to employers
- Learn how to present themselves professionally
- Gain insight into what real companies look for
- Receive meaningful feedback to strengthen their future applications
- Develop communication and self‑reflection skills that last a lifetime
And trust us—Year 12 absolutely rose to the challenge!
