Girls in Prep and Pre-Prep enjoyed close encounters with a snake, a tiny, year-old, tortoise and a tarantula when Lottie from ZooLab visited Thornton today. The majority of the girls had the confidence and, in several instances the eagerness, to hold the snake and stroke the shell of the tortoise. The tarantula, on the other hand, was fast asleep throughout; creating a mixture of disappointment and relief amongst the girls and teachers!![]()

Careers Event: Your Future Career
Posted: 7th October 2020
Caitlin Brennan from InvestIn delivered a presentation to our Year 10 and 11s on ‘Your Future Career’.
Caitlin introduced the idea of Career Clusters, focusing on groups of careers that are linked and acquiring skills that will be transferable across the cluster.
A wealth of extra curricular activities are available at Thornton, and Caitlin spoke about the importance of building a portfolio of interests from which students can then evidence skills such as team work, problem solving and communication. These will not only greatly enhance a university application but also make students a much better fit for employers.
