Career Talks

Friday, 20th February 2026 at 9:00am

The careers team at GBHS is off to a busy start - hosting two weeks of successful Kawhe Kōrero sessions covering Trades, the Police and the NZDF.

On Tuesday, speaker Sergeant Tai Benedicio met with many interested students one-on-one, presented to our Vocational Pathways classes, and presented at our lunchtime Kawhe Kōrero session: introducing over 100 different roles available within the Defence Force, many of which offer paid internships (and are available to apply for now)!

Sergeant Detective Alex Lawton and Sergeant Lylee Norriss were also hugely popular with our students. For more information on police careers, visit: https://www.newcops.govt.nz/
