Meet with Success is a joint enterprise between the Past Students’ Association and Star’s Careers Centre. A panel of exceptional women - all graduates of the College who have agreed to be student mentors – connect with an audience of Year 10 and Year 11 students and their families.

The 2016 keynote speaker was Global Entrepreneur, Lauren Rielly (1996), who spoke about the exciting world of innovation and entrepreneurship. Lauren gave valuable insights into what is possible for students leaving Star to achieve.
