Educating concerned, informed, adaptable
members of the world community

Over the years, past pupils of Thornhill College move onto Careers within the Design Field. It is inspiring to hear of their experiences along the way, and we encourage them to come into the Department and talk to the girls of their journey. We welcome all our Art & Design past pupils to contact us and let us know how you are getting on.

We were delighted Aileen could take time out of her busy schedule to come into our Art Department and talk to the girls. Her candid talk struck a chord with our years 13/14 girls especially, when she explained how indecisive she was about her career choices. When she finally decided on her degree choice, and after researching how many colleges offered “costume interpretation”, she was delighted to accept a place at Wimbeldon College of Art, London.

Aileen approached employment, with her wide skills base, helping her to secure positions. She stressed to the girls how important it is to network, sending emails to potential employers, and to keep grounded when entering into a new employment position. Aileen’s enthusiasm for her career was infectious, the girls were in awe of her inspiring talk, especially when she showed pics of people like Matt Le Blanc (from the sitcom Friends), Cillian Murphy (from Peeky Blinders), Aileens talk will no doubt have made a lasting impression on them.

Aileen has achieved so much in her short time in the industry, we wish her well in her future endeavours and hope that she will continue to visit our department.
