Below is a link to the video as well as links to other information you may find useful. Students have until the end of September to apply with ‘early bird’ rates. Any students who were absent from this session should see me to receive the UAC guide and other information. There are many events at universities and private colleges in the coming weeks and months which should be of interest to the senior students, including information evenings about courses and scholarships. Year 11 and 12 students will be attending the “HSC and Careers Expo” at the end of May. Guest speakers have also been booked for lunchtime talks (see below).
