MAPPA Speed Careers Evening was a terrific success, full of energy, connection, and inspiration. Held in the familiar warmth of Mount Anville, the event brought together an impressive range of alumni from across diverse sectors including law, aviation, fintech, healthcare, design, communications, and more. We were so grateful to all alumni for generously giving their time to share insights and advice with the 5th Year students.

As a member of the MAPPA committee, it was an absolute joy to witness the evening unfold. The students were engaged, curious, and brimming with enthusiasm. They were a true credit to the school, their year head Aoife Harrison, and their guidance counsellor Jennifer Blayney. The “speed-dating” format created a lively buzz, with every four-minute bell ushering in a new burst of conversation, questions, and inspiration. The energy in the room was palpable and once again a testament to the strength of the Mount Anville network and the eagerness of these young women to explore the paths ahead.

“Never did I imagine, as I skipped through the Bishop’s Door as a little girl in junior school, that I’d be skipping back in as an adult for an evening like this.”
