Claire Pech – Careers Advisor

Australian Union of Jewish Students

This week we hosted AUJS (Australian Union of Jewish Students) representatives at our School.

Mikayla Sacks, Sean Torban and Nadia Coburn (all Class of 2017) came  to speak to our current Year 12 group about joining AUJS.

Some of the benefits include:

• Being connected to other Jewish students
• Being connected to Judaism when the constructs of a Jewish school are no longer around
• Having a safety net of students you may know
• Being part of something bigger that connects you to other students from different schools and states
• Having a great social network and ready made connections

Claire Pech, Nadia Coburn (Alum ’17) and Mikayla Sacks (Alum ’17)

Nadia Coburn, President of AUJS, spoke to students about the misconceptions of what AUJS is about, about her involvement in the organisation, the many events she has attended and the friends she has made. She also spoke about her Physiotherapy path and that she is about to start her Doctor of Physiotherapy at Macquarie University. Mikayla spoke about her Communications degree at UTS and interning in an advertising agency, while Sean spoke about studying his double degree of Psychology and Cognitive and Brain Sciences. All students are flourishing at University and it was good to showcase their varied paths chosen and the connections that they all still have.

Next week we will host ANU as the first University to come and speak (virtually) to our students.
