Claire Pech – Careers Advisor

This week the University of Sydney presented via Zoom to our Year 12s and last week UNSW did the same. Although this isn’t ideal, as it is not face-to-face, it is still a good stop gap to find out more about the institutions, ask them any questions via the online Q&A chat, and also hear about any changes that are being made in light of COVID-19 for admissions to any degree changes.
