It is a busy time for our Year 12 students preparing for their Trial HSC exams whilst also planning their post school pathways.
If students are considering applying for University Early Entry programs, it is important they submit their applications before the closing dates. Each university has a different closing date, so be sure to visit the universities websites to check when they will close for applications. Extra tips for their applications are available on the Careers Google Classroom.
Don't forget to also get UAC preferences submitted before the early bird discount expires at the end of September. Visit the UAC website, https://www.uac.edu.au/
If student are considering applying for TAFE, new courses are regularly being updated on the TAFE NSW website and applications for 2025 are starting to open. TAFE can provide an excellent post school pathway to gain a qualification for employment, as a stepping stone into a university degree or to really establish clear directions for what students would like to do when they leave school. For more information on TAFE, visit https://www.tafensw.edu.au/. They also offer career counselling sessions to help you plan, decide and enrol into the most suitable course.
For students considering an apprenticeship, now is the perfect time to begin reaching out to future employers to ask about 2025 apprenticeship opportunities. Students are also encouraged to regularly check the Careers Google Classroom for advertised opportunities across a variety of industries.
