It is great to be back for another busy term in Careers. This term we will be showcasing the following guest speakers weekly for our Year 12 students throughout the term.

This program gives Year 12 students a broad look at the various opportunities they have. 

UTS

Towards the end of last term we were delighted to host a speaker from UTS. It was a short but interesting presentation (see the link below). UTS is showing a big increase in enrolments from Emanuel students, last year being the second most popular institution.

UTS makes a great job of showcasing their industry connections, their hands-on learning, and their futures skill-building workforce. It is no wonder it continues to win the number one spot as the best ‘newest’ University in Australia.

For career paths in Music, Theatre and Performance go to www.arts.unsw.edu.au/events/careers-paths/ and 30 May 2017, 6-8 pm at the Myers Studio, UNSW Kensington Campus.

Law

Anyone interested in studying Law at UNSW (one of the most reputable Law Schools in Australia) will have to sit a Law Admissions Test (LAT). Students in Year 11 can also attend and sit the test this year. Having a good LAT result reduces the ATAR requirement from the usual 99.7 to above 96.

Finding balance during Year 12

As Year 12 start their Half-Yearly examinations this week, I wish them all the best, and as I mentioned to them this week, I hope they remember to keep this in perspective. This is only one set of assessment tests for the HSC.
