At New Avenue School, our careers programme is built on the foundation of our core values: compassion, courage, curiosity, and collaboration. We are committed to inspiring and empowering every student to explore their potential, develop essential skills, and confidently navigate their future career pathways.

​

With compassion, we support every student’s aspirations, ensuring an inclusive and encouraging environment where all can thrive. Through courage, we challenge students to step outside their comfort zones, embrace opportunities, and take bold steps toward their futures. We encourage curiosity through exploration, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning that connects classroom experiences to the real world. And through collaboration, we build strong partnerships with employers, educators, and the community to provide meaningful experiences that prepare students for success in an ever-changing world of work.
