Universities and Careers Fair
Do What You Love,

You Never Know

Where It Might Lead…

With over 60 exhibitors including universities from all corners of the UK, as
well as representatives from a diverse variety of professions, industries and gap
years, there was something for every taste, talent and aspiration at Moreton

Hall’s annual Universities and Careers Fair.

With visiting pupils from Ysgol Dinas Brân, Seminars were popular and lively, and attracted
The Maelor School, Ysgol Llanfyllin, St Martins, many questions. They included Lancaster
Darland and The Marches, joining our own University’s, ‘How to Choose a University and
Upper Fifth and Lower Sixth students, Moreton a Course’, The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt
Hall’s Sports Hall buzzed with the sound of Orthopaedic Hospital’s ‘NHS Careers – More
young people exploring how to start their Than Just Doctors and Nurses’, and ‘The
career journey and realise their dream. Oxbridge Journey’, with our very own
Mr Reynolds and Mrs Peel.
Moreton’s own alumnae are always a key part
of this highlight in the school calendar. Old
Moretonian Hermione Bird (OM 2016),
delivered a well-attended and inspiring talk
about her ‘wiggly path’ journey from English
and Philosophy to Software Engineering and
the importance of maintaining a Growth
Mindset. Tara Beasley (OM 2017) and Eva
Gascoigne (OM 2015), talked about their work
as a Business Manager in the brewing sector
and Chartered Surveyor respectively. Jennifer
Brazier (OM 2009) hosted a popular stand for
budding veterinarians whilst Jo Chavasse
(OM 2009) returned for another year; this time
joined by her gorgeous baby daughter, Delilah,
who provided some hands-on experience for
anyone interested in nannying as part of a gap
year. Caitlin Price (OM 2024) provided inspiration
for those exploring alternative pathways following
her appointment as a Degree Apprentice at
KPMG (Audit) last summer. Finally, Jemma
Halliwell (OM 2009) and Hannah Williams (OM
2014) were flying the flag for STEM careers, so
popular with Moreton girls, showcasing their
roles in Mechanical Engineering and Corporate
Sustainability.
