HCB Careers Week kicked off in style this morning with a very informative and engaging guest, BBC Political Correspondent, Mark Simpson.

The boys learned a great deal about reporting, interviewing, camera angles, and effective questioning. They also had the opportunity to ask Mark, Joe “The Goal,” and Mr McArevey some very interesting questions.

A huge thank you to Mark for generously giving his time to visit and educate the boys about a career in journalism. It was a truly excellent and memorable learning experience.

Thank you also to Mr McEvoy for organising the event.
