University Open Days
The list of Open Days for universities in NSW has been released. Many of these Open Days fall in the weekend before or during our Trial HSC examinations. I would encourage Year 11 students to consider attending as many Open Days as possible this year as there is often a clash with our Trial HSC examinations in Year 12.

Open Days coming up include:
- CSU My Days - Wagga Wagga on 16th/17th April, Orange on 19th April and Bathurst on 20th April.
- Macquarie in a Day – Macquarie University on 17th/18th April.
- UNE Open Day – Friday 11th May.

University of Sydney Prerequisites
Course prerequisite – Mathematics (Band 4)
In 2019, a course prerequisite of Mathematics (Band 4) will apply for those courses that have an assumed knowledge of Mathematics, HSC Mathematics Extension 1 and HSC Mathematics Extension 2. This means that students must have reached this minimum standard in their NSW HSC or equivalent before they will be offered a place in the course. If a student does not have the required course prerequisite they cannot be selected for the course, even though they may have met the admission requirements. The course prerequisite will affect agriculture, commerce, economics, engineering, health, medicine, pharmacy, psychology, science and veterinary courses. It will also apply to combined courses in those areas.
