Empowering our students for their future
Guiding senior students towards career success
It’s a pivotal time for Year 12 students as they begin their UAC (Universities Admissions Centre) applications. They have been well-prepared for this through Pastoral Care classes, where they learned the intricacies of the application process. With university offers still a few months away, it’s essential to take advantage of the School Recommendation Scheme and start exploring preference options before the Trial HSC exams and major work submissions in term 3.
Several universities have already initiated their early entry pathways, including Western Sydney University and Macquarie University. The University of Wollongong is set to follow with its early entry program starting in mid-June.
In addition to university applications, last week a group of Year 12 students had an informative session with our college nurse, Mrs. Sultana. As a Registered Nurse, Mrs. Sultana shared her valuable insights and experiences from various sectors of the health industry, offering students a clearer understanding of health-related career pathways.
Moreover, a few weeks ago, select students from Years 10 and 11 attended the Camden Council Careers Expo in Oran Park. This event provided an excellent opportunity for students to interact with local businesses, private training providers, and industry leaders, including QANTAS and Western Sydney Airport. It’s encouraging to see many students leveraging their curiosity and courage to explore the diverse possibilities and pathways available to them.
