It was a pleasure to welcome back alumnae Gabi Lewis (Mendelsohn, 2015), Ines Fournis-Lema (2020) and Jiyaa Shah (2025) for our Life After City talks. Students in years 11 to 13 took part in a lively career ladder challenge, exploring the varied paths our alumnae took since leaving City. Through engaging discussions and a networking lunch, students gained valuable insights into university, careers and life beyond school, while having the opportunity to ask questions and learn from our alumnae’s experiences firsthand.
