A Career in the Public Sector

The Sixth and Final in the 2022 Old Boys Union Career Webinar Series

The aim of the session is to hear from Old Boys across various areas of the Public Sector, explaining the varied nature of careers available and their personal journeys. You will hear about their time at High, what they studied post school, what they are doing now and how they got to where they are. They will share some anecdotes and provide some practical advice for those considering pursuing a career in the public sector. The boys will also have time to ask questions of the panellists.

What is the Old Boys Union?
The Sydney High School Old Boys Union (SHSOBU) was founded in 1892 and is Australia’s oldest alumni Union. Over the
past 130 years, its aim has been to foster and continue the friendships formed by students while at School and then to
contribute, through this fellowship, to the corporate spirit and well-being of the School. In a very real sense, the OBU is one
of the most consistent and stable parts of the School’s community. The Old Boys Union is governed by an Executive Council
whose members are elected annually. The SHSOBU regularly organises events for it's members.

What membership offers
Membership provides a lifetime of professional, social, sporting and academic connections with Sydney Boys High School, its extraordinary network of distinguished and successful Old Boys, and the alumni of other GPS schools. Each member also receives regular e-Bulletin magazines via e-mail.
We have an established mentorship network with many Old Boys in various professions prepared to share their wisdom and experience with younger Old Boys and current students who join the Student Life Membership scheme.
Each student who becomes a Life Member of the OBU will be presented with his badge and certificate of Life Membership at the Year 12 farewell assembly.
