Students can get a ‘head start’ at University

For high achieving Year 11 and 12 students, many universities will be taking applications in March for the next round of ‘head start’ programs. These programs provide school students with the opportunity to study one or more university subjects while at school. The benefits of completing a university subject whilst at school include:
• Studying the subject can be one less subject to study and pay for during later studies at university
• Some university programs offer a QCE point for successful completion
• Students can experience what university study may involve
• Successful completion of subjects at some universities can improve chances of entry to the relevant course or university after Year 12.

Date Claimer: Year 10 Work Experience Block

Our College runs a Careers program that aims to prepare students for their senior phase of learning and assist students in making decisions around career and education pathways. As part of the Careers program, we suspend classes and offer Year 10 students the opportunity to participate in a week of work experience. This year the work experience block program will run in Term 2, Week 9, Monday 10 June to Friday 14 June 2024. More information will be provided to Year 10 students and sent home to Year 10 parents closer to the end of Term 1.
