Year 11 Accounting 

Networking Event

On Friday, 21 March, the Year 11 Accounting students attended an Accounting Network event hosted by Matthews Steer Accountants. Below is an account of the event from Year 11 Student, Thomas A. 

“On the 22nd of March, a select number of St Bernard's students attend an accounting breakfast hosted by local accounting firm Matthews Steer at the Hyatt Place in Essendon Fields. It was a great opportunity for us as students to learn about a life in not only accounting but other aspects of business. 

We heard from guest speakers Marco Alghisi and Giorgio Linguanti CEO and Founder of That’s Amore Cheese. We were able to learn about how Giorgio founded That’s Amore Cheese, and how they maintained customer satisfaction through Covid-19 and the current cost of living crisis.

Overall, the breakfast was a great opportunity for us to learn about what a life in business entails. It was also an opportunity to ask questions and gain experience from people like Craig, who mentioned how your future career may not always involve a linear progression, instead your future may involve career changes like his own career did, changing from a primary school PE teacher to now running a transport business.”
