Morrisby Diagnostic Online Testing – Year 10

A reminder that Morrisby Diagnostic Online Testing will be occurring next week for all Year 10 students as part of the Year 10 Camp and Activity week: Tuesday 15th – Friday 18th March 2022.

Each student has been allocated a day to attend the College to complete his Morrisby testing. Students will be required to attend normal school hours and will undertake the testing in the College Lecture Theatre during periods 1, 2 & 3. All students must attend with their laptops fully charged.

This is a compulsory career development activity for every Year 10 student. Students who absent themselves from their allocated session day will be required to complete the assessment at school after 3.10pm for a period of up to 2hours.

The comprehensive individual Morrisby report will be available to all students and parents on Friday evening, 18th March 2022, 6pm. This will be available for downloading (PDF) from your son’s Morrisby account. Please take the opportunity to look at the report with your son over the weekend. Following the release of the Morrisby report, individual one-on-one career debriefs/counselling will begin in the week of Monday 21st March and will continue into early June, term 2. A schedule of appointments will be made available to all Year 10 students next week.

If any Year 10 parent missed the information sent to families via email regarding Morrisby Diagnostic Online Testing, please refer to MAZCOM: CLICK HERE.

Snapshot of Charles Sturt University (CSU) in 2022

The history of Charles Sturt University dates back to 1895 but CSU was formally incorporated on 19 July 1989 and is one of Australia's newer universities.
Charles Sturt University has three faculties which comprise several schools and centres for specific areas of study and research:

Faculty of Arts and Education

Faculty of Business, Justice and Behavioural Sciences

Faculty of Science and Health

CSU has campuses in a number of locations and also has various campuses that offer specialist courses, such as theology, education, Terrorism & Security Studies, and policing. These include Canberra, Goulburn, Manly, and Parramatta
CSU also has four Study Centres in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and Wangaratta.
CSU offers a range of accommodation options to students across six campuses.
CSU offers a broad range of courses including postgraduate studies.
Commencing in 2021, Charles Sturt University and Western Sydney University partnered to create a new Joint Program in Medicine. It is a five-year undergraduate entry Doctor of Medicine based in Orange, New South Wales. Some other courses that may be of particular interest include:
Bachelor of Communication (with Specialisations in Media, Journalism, etc.)
Bachelor of Dental Science
Bachelor of Pharmacy
Bachelor of Physiotherapy
Bachelor of Veterinary Biology / Bachelor of Veterinary Science
Master of Terrorism and Security Studies

Biomedical Science (Gippsland Partnership Program)

Secure your pathway into the Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine at Monash University.

The Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Gippsland Partnership Program) is designed to enable Gippsland-origin students* to qualify for the Monash University graduate entry medicine program and then if selected, complete their medical training in the Gippsland region. Selected students will complete a Federation University Biomedical Science degree, comprising of 16 units of study with Federation University and 6 units with Monash University**.

Students in the program who achieve a minimum Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of over 70 during their degree are eligible to apply for a place in Monash University’s graduate entry Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine. The first year of this program commences at Monash University’s School of Rural Health in Churchill, Gippsland. To be eligible for admission into the Monash University graduate entry medicine program, students must meet rural-origin requirements* and achieve a WAM of over 70 in addition to a minimum score in a Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) and Situational Judgement Test (SJT).

* Gippsland origin is defined as residency for at least 10 years cumulatively or any 5 years consecutively in a Gippsland region classified as ASGS-RA 2-5 (Australian Statistical Geography Standard – Remoteness Areas; includes all Gippsland shires and outer metro regions east of Pakenham).

** Some travel to Clayton will be required for the units undertaken with Monash University.

Engineering (Honours) - Masters Accelerated PathwayA popular course at Monash University is the Engineering (Honours) - Masters Accelerated Pathway. This is an accelerated program for high-achieving students to be on track to earn both a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and an expert Master’s degree in Engineering in just five years. A weighted average mark of 65% must be attained by the end of level 3, to use two Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) electives in 4th year to take units from the chosen master’s. A student will graduate with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) as a fully qualified engineer after 4 years, and will be able to cross-credit the master’s units towards their destination Master’s course.

Successful completion of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) with a minimum 65% average will enable direct entry to the Master of Engineering with only one year (36 credit points) of study to complete.

The Masters Accelerated Pathway option is available for the following specialisations: Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Computer Systems, Materials, Mechanical or Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering.

Note: The Masters year is charged at full fees, not CSP. Also, Monash Engineering degrees are recognised by a number of professional engineering bodies.

VCE Entry requirements are Units 3 and 4: a study score of at least 27 in English (EAL) or at least 25 in English other than EAL; Units 3 and 4: a study score of at least 25 in one of Maths: Mathematical Methods or Maths: Specialist Mathematics; Units 3 and 4: a study score of at least 25 in one of Chemistry or Physics. The ATAR required for 2022 entry is 94.20.

Career as a Telecommunications EngineerJobs and Skills WA states that telecommunications engineers design, test and build the various technologies that allow people to communicate over distances.

They may work in fields such as telephone and internet networks, radio and television broadcasting and satellite communications.
They design telecommunication networks, deciding on the technology to be used and where cables or broadcasting equipment needs to be placed, and oversee installation.
Telecommunication engineers may also be responsible for testing and repairing faults.

Telecommunications engineers usually work for the major telecommunications companies, or for large organisations with private communication networks, such as remote mine sites, for example, the Pilbara region. Telecommunications engineers often work in offices, where they can use computers to monitor networks and broadcasting equipment remotely. However, some travel may be required to visit sites throughout the state, particularly when installing new equipment or repairing faults. Product developmentThere is strong future growth in this industry, and it is also a well-paid career.

To become a telecommunications engineer, students usually need to study a degree in engineering, majoring in electronics and communication engineering, or a related field. Students may also choose to complete postgraduate study to specialise in electronic and communication engineering.

In Victoria, RMIT and Swinburne universities both offer courses relating to telecommunication engineering.

ENGINEERING DEGREES IN 2022

Listed below are over 35 engineering bachelor’s degrees offered at most universities in Victoria. Students should note that unless otherwise indicated* all engineering degrees require at the very least an English or EAL, and Maths: Mathematical Methods (CAS) or Specialist Mathematics. Courses with an ^ also require Chemistry or Physics.
