The children visited the Centre for Life and Sambucas, where they explored exciting future career opportunities. A highlight of the day was the Electrifying Newcastle workshop, where pupils discovered what it is like to be an electrical engineer through engaging, hands-on activities. They also enjoyed a delicious meal at Sambucas, while learning about careers and opportunities within the hospitality industry. A fantastic day of learning, aspiration and self-belief, inspiring our children to think positively about their futures and let their light shine!
