Palladians Lunchtime Events

On May 3rd, Mac.Rob had the privilege of hosting two remarkable alumni, Dr. Sanya Vallath and Dr. Vicky Au, for a special lunchtime presentation. The event provided an insightful glimpse into their distinguished career journeys and offered students an invaluable opportunity to engage with their experiences.

Dr. Sanya Vallath, who graduated from Mac.Rob in 2010, shared her journey to becoming a doctor in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Her presentation not only highlighted her professional achievements but also shed light on the challenges and rewards of working in healthcare. Students were captivated by Dr. Vallath's story and were grateful for the chance to learn from her firsthand experiences.

Dr. Vicky Au, another esteemed alumna who graduated in 1993, delivered an inspiring talk about her multifaceted career path. After completing her bachelor’s degree at the University of Melbourne, Dr. Au pursued a PhD in Physics at The Australian National University before furthering her education at Harvard Business School. Currently serving as the Director of Decarbonisation for the Asia Pacific region at Wood, Dr. Au's presentation resonated strongly with students interested in the intersections of science, business, and sustainability.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to both Dr. Sanya Vallath and Dr. Vicky Au for taking the time to inspire and educate the next generation of Mac.Robbians. Your contributions have enriched our students' understanding of diverse career paths and possibilities beyond academia.

We look forward to more such enlightening events that connect our alumni with current students, fostering a sense of continuity and inspiration within our school community.
