Claire Pech – Careers Advisor

This week was our last Careers session in Year 12. I always find it a mixture of emotions as I farewell another Year 12 group. I am delighted for them that they are coming to the end of their schooling experience, I am also excited that they are about to embark on the many directions, roads, paths (and dead-ends) that lie ahead, and that is all part of the process. I wish them all of the luck in the world, and I have really enjoyed being part of this process with them. Good luck!

What is news at UNSW?

Faculty of Engineering Admission Scheme (FEAS)

If students are applying to UNSW and are not sure if they will get the guaranteed atar of 93 (a creep up from last year), then this scheme is for you, as they will take in students up to 10 points below as long as they have applied, with a video submission. They are looking for students who do well in Science and Maths, but whose ATAR is lower due to their other grades pulling it down. Click here for more information.
