During his career day presentation, Guiness World Record holder John Reid shows students his world record sized balloon creation of Optimus Prime.

On Friday, June 10th, 2022, Westfield Virtual School hosted a Virtual Career Day. Students got to spend the afternoon hearing from a variety of exciting presenters.


Among the many guests, students were captivated by a virtual balloon magic show by John Reid. Reid is a Guinness World Record holder for his intricate balloon art. Reid demonstrated a balloon creation and even taught the students a card trick!



Thank you to all the presenters who engaged the students during this fun afternoon. Students had the opportunity to ask questions to each presenter, with the help of Principal and facilitator Dr. Osborn. They appreciated the opportunity to learn about possible future careers and were left feeling inspired, while having fun!
