Years 11 and 12 - Universities Showcase

Years 11 and 12 - Universities Showcase

The Universities Showcase will be coming to the school during Period 1 next Tuesday, 18 February. It will involve a number of guest speakers from regional universities who will speak with students about such issues as  applying for university courses, financial arrangements (HECS-HELP and FEE-HELP,  and the everyday costs involved textbooks), the types of accommodation available, what studying at university is like, how lessons are taught, school recommendation schemes and any other aspects of university that students wish to raise. Immediately following the initial presentation students will have the opportunity to visit stands set up by the attending universities to talk individually with representatives and collect written information. Year 12 students who are considering the university option are strongly advised to attend. Year 11 students will find the presentation a good starting point in making their plans for future studies.
