Careers News

Best of luck to the class of 2019

Welcome to the final Careers update for the year.  The focus this week is on our Year 12s – who are working through the process of receiving results and finalising their transition plans for 2020 and beyond.  Best of luck to the Class of 2019, and just remember that an ATAR is just a number, and there are many pathways to your desired destination! 

It’s been an absolute privilege to work with students and families at NHS since starting my tenure in June.  It was a little daunting stepping into the capable shoes of Kylie Witt, and I would like to thank all members of the NHS community for your amazing support over the past six months.  I look forward to seeing everyone early next year.  Have a safe and relaxing festive season.

Information for Year 12 students and families

• Get my ATAR
• Check previous ATARs and current prereqs for courses on my preference list
• Check out change of preference events Thursday/Friday at the unis and attend with questions.
