Year 12

On Wednesday of last week, I gave the first of two talks during Week 10. The first was to all Year 12  students regarding upcoming events, changes this year to University applications and what students can be doing. UAC applications opened last Wednesday 3 April and students will be receiving their UAC PIN and a course book from UAC.

The second talk last Friday was also open to Year 11 and Year 12 students who are unsure of what they would like to do, pursue or study when they leave school. They were shown online and other resources in the Careers Adviser's Office to assist them in finding directions and options that may suit them.

This week all Year 12 students received a copy of the McCarthy Year 12 Careers Booklet  for 2019.  This includes information on a range of topics including University, TAFE, private Colleges, apprenticeships and has samples of resumes for jobs and University scholarships and accommodation applications.  I encourage parents to ask their child, to see the booklet which outlines many things Year 12 students need to know and do during their final year of schooling to prepare for life after the HSC.
