🌟 Year 10 Transition Program – Exploring Future Pathways 🎓

Today, as part of our Year 10 Transition Program, we were very fortunate to welcome James from the University of Wollongong (UOW) to speak with our Year 10 students.

James provided our students with valuable information about:
🎓 Career opportunities and pathways
📚 The wide range of courses available at UOW
📝 Assumed knowledge and prerequisites for different courses
💰 Scholarships and financial support
🚪 Alternative entry pathways, including UOW College
🏠 Accommodation options
🌏 The many possibilities available beyond school

The session was all about broadening our students’ horizons and helping them understand the choices available to them. This is so they can make informed decisions about their Year 11 and 12 subject selections, future study and career aspirations.

A huge thank you to James and the University of Wollongong for helping our students see the possibilities and start thinking about where their future could take them🌟
