The time is now for Year 10 Work Experience!

Year 10 has been offered the Work Experience program which is scheduled for Week 9 of this term. Although the program is not compulsory, all students are encouraged to take advantage of this experience. Work Experience (WEX) is a valuable opportunity to gain insight into real-world work contexts and helps students plan future study, training and career pathways. WEX is also a great opportunity to build networks for future employment opportunities. 

Students are required to submit their paperwork application by the end of Week 7. 

If a student would like to participate and has not expressed interest through the Careers Office, now is your chance!

Year 10 UOW Discovery Day 

Year 10 had the wonderful opportunity to see our local campus in Batemans Bay and hear from student representatives about pathway options. They had informative and hands-on sessions that included interactive workshops in UOW study areas of science, criminology and nursing, and a TAFE NSW VET-based session in hairdressing.

Our Year 10 students also had a career planning seminar where they had to think about pathway options and how this reflects in their pattern of study for senior years.

More information on UC Early Entry is available at Snr Careers GC and Mrs Dalgleish in the Careers Office.

Applications for UC Early Offers opened on 20 May 2024.

How does it work?

To be eligible for the Early Offer Scheme, you must be a current Year 12 student enrolled in a school located in NSW and intending to go to university. For example, if you are studying a tertiary package in NSW, pursuing the HSC leading to an ATAR, you can apply for admission to the University of Canberra in advance of receiving your ATAR results, which will instead be based on your Year 11 results and a 300 word personal statement.
