🌍 Cowley Conversations: Where Dreams Meet Reality!
This morning, we had our weekly Cowley Conversations assemblies for Year 12 and 13 students.
The students got seriously inspired today when alumnus, Norman, shared his incredible career journey that's taken him across the globe - from India to America, Japan and beyond! 🗺️
Norman's story proves that your Cowley education is just the beginning of an amazing adventure!
Huge thanks to Norman for coming back to share his experiences with our students. Who knows, maybe some of our current Year 12s and 13s will be back in a few years with their own incredible stories to tell! ... See MoreSee Less
