Year 12 

The Higher Education team has commenced careers lessons with the Year 12 students. These lessons are conducted once per cycle and are designed to support and prepare students for their university applications and the transition from high school to post-secondary.

Cycle 1 - we introduced the students to the department, provided them with the timeline for Years 12 and 13, outlined the objectives of the course, and discussed how to research universities and courses. The slides have been shared with students via Google Classroom and to parents by email.

Cycle 2 - we gave an overview of international applications, the application procedure, and platforms and ways to research for countries such as The UK, US, Hong Kong, and Canada. 

Cycle 3 - we introduced students to choosing universities and factors to consider when choosing one. We also introduced them to the Reach-Match-Safety strategy.

Cycle 4 - students used the Reach-Match-Safety strategy and worked on their university list.

Cycle 5 - students have been introduced to the concept of a brag sheet and its various elements.

The Higher Education team supports students with applications to all countries. Students are requested to reach out to their Higher Education Counsellors for any advice or support required.

The Higher Education team is now in the process of scheduling meetings with the Year 12 students to discuss their university applications and their university list.

Year 11

The Higher Education team is currently in the process of completing all meetings with the Year 11 students and families regarding the post-16 options choices. An email will be sent to students and families shortly, providing information on this matter and requesting confirmation of their post-16 options. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please reach out to your HE counsellor.

Year 7 to year 13 

On Thursday, 07 March, the HE Department organized the first session of "Coffee and College." This session focused on providing valuable information about strategies to finance education in US universities. Participants were presented with helpful content on various methods to pay for their college expenses. Following the informative session, a Q&A session was conducted, allowing attendees to ask questions and seek clarification on any concerns they may have had. Please find the link to the slides “HERE” and the recording of the event “HERE”. When viewing the video, it is a bit challenging to see the slides on the projection screen, so you will want to view the slides while listening to the presentation.
