UNSW Engineering Year 10 Work Experience
Earlier this year, we shared the exciting news that our Year 10 student, Cassandra Hill, participated in the prestigious Engineering Work Experience Program at the University of New South Wales, UNSW Engineering. We’re now thrilled to announce that Cass has been recognised as one of the top 30 students in the program for submitting one of the 'most noteworthy Civil Engineering Reports'.
This is a remarkable achievement, and we are incredibly proud of her.
Congratulations, Cass — we look forward to seeing all the amazing things your future holds!
University of Sydney Visit
Thanks to the team from The University of Sydney – Chelsea, Ahmed and Ava, who delivered a very comprehensive presentation to interested students in Years 11 and 12 on Tuesday. Topics included:
- pathways to the University of Sydney,
- scholarships available,
- application processes,
- residential options and more.
They then followed with an informative session for Year 10 students about university life, and Year 10 students were encouraged to explore the links between personal interest and skills, senior high school subjects and higher education using the MyFuture website. They also learnt about available study options and future career paths at the University of Sydney. The session had a focus on what a university is, why people choose to study there and understanding university terminology, including prerequisites, and assumed knowledge to help with Year 11 and 12 subject selection.
Many thanks to the University of Sydney team!
CareerQuip
On Thursday, our Year 11 students travelled to Taree to attend CareerQuip. This event is targeted to our Year 11 students in that there is a broad cross-section of exhibitors available to disseminate career and employment information. These include over 50 exhibitors, including National Association of Prospective Student Advisers members such as universities, private and vocational colleges and student support services. Additionally, TAFE and employer organisations were also represented along with local and regional skills shortage employers, plus trades and vocations. What an amazing opportunity for our students to engage with their futures.
Many thanks to sponsors Regional Industry Education Partnerships (RIEP) for our bus subsidy, TAFE NSW, Study NSW, Taree University Campus, University of New England, AU, and Mid Coast Connect, who all helped provide a wonderful day for our students.
