Claire Pech – Careers Advisor
As The UNSW is one of our closest neighbours I thought I would advertise some of their network school events coming up.
Find out about the UAC process and how the process works for 2019 (any Year 12s may find this interesting but note these dates are for our current HSC class – so do not panic!)
Women in Engineering (WIE) Camp application
The WIE Camp is a fantastic opportunity for your female students to explore the diverse fields of engineering through site visits, activities and time spent with successful engineers. Applications close on Wednesday 31 October. The camp takes place in the January holidays starting on 7 January 2019 and is a great way to get involved in the university and get a taster for this course.

Key dates
Built Environment Alternative Admission Scheme
Applications are now open and will close on Friday 16 November 2018 at 6.00 pm.
Art & Design Portfolio Entry
Portfolio submissions are now open and will be accepted until 11.59 pm on Friday 30 November.
Faculty of Engineering Admissions Scheme (FEAS)
Applications are now open and will close Friday 30 November. This is well worth having a look at for any students who are very keen on Engineering but are not so sure they will get the required ATAR of 92. This scheme is an excellent way for Emanuel students to try and gain access if they feel their ATAR may fall lower (81-91.95). The UNSW used to interview applicants but as of last year entrants can submit a video of themselves and their desire to study Engineering and also any engineering projects they have been involved with, or anything that can exhibit their passion for Engineering

UAC – In Year 12 and thinking of dropping A course?
This post is a great article (written from UAC) to look at some questions to ask yourself if you are thinking of dropping subjects. The sense is not to make any rash decisions, to make sure you are speaking to your teachers and various staff mentors to ensure you are making the correct decision.
