CAREERS EXPO

Unfortunately due to the current situation, Year 11 will not have the opportunity to attend the annual Career Expo in Leeton in which MCC would normally be involved.This event would enable the students to have the opportunity to chat to potential Universities, TAFE, Australian Defence Forces and other GAP year experiences. They can answer questions about accommodation, enrolments, early acceptance to universities and any other questions you may have.

The next virtual careers expos: 18–22 May: Year 13 Digital Career Expo

Year 11 students and interested Year 12 should register for a time that best suits yourself next Thursday afternoon. Your parents can also register and chat to future prospects as the expo is open until 8pm.

Interested students, teachers and parents should register at https://youthsense.com.au/events/year13s-digital-careers-expo/

University of Canberra announcing the introduction of the UC Uplift package – a series of initiatives that we either currently offer or will be putting in place to support both school leavers and non-school leavers being impacted by COVID-19. UC Early Offer Round – based on the Schools Recommendation Scheme (13 August) In addition to participating in the SRS early offer rounds in November, UC has also been working with UAC to set up a separate early offer round in August this year. Designed to provide peace of mind to anxious Year 12 students in 2020, the UC Early Offer Round will be based on the mechanics of the SRS process. Students will be required to submit an SRS application via UAC by Sunday 5 July, with schools providing final assessments by Sunday 19 July. We will then be able to release early offers to successful applicants during the 13 August UAC offer round. A condition of the offer will be the completion of Year 12, but like the standard SRS process, offers will be based solely on the school’s recommendation of the propensity for the student to perform in a tertiary setting. https://www.canberra.edu.au/future-students/apply-now/alternative-entry/schools-recommendation-scheme See also Webinar for future students on May 20 to find out more https://www.canberra.edu.au/events/Home/Event/160594
