Careers

Career guidance and education is essential to assist students in deciding their next step, whether it be choosing the correct subjects, applying for their first casual job or transitioning to study post-school. Throughout the year we will be providing students with a number of opportunities to help guide them through this process.

Highlights of upcoming events will be posted in the College newsletter whilst a more detailed newsletter outlining all events will be posted in our MSCW Careers website https://www.mscwpsp.com.  Here students will find extensive information on career pathways including universities, TAFE, apprenticeships and overseas study. Students may access this information at any time through this portal. A lunchtime session on how to create a student login and navigate the site will be offered to senior students in the coming week.

As the year begins to unfold, tertiary institutions will begin to release information on courses, early entry schemes and scholarships. Key dates will be posted in the College newsletter.

University Admission Centre (UAC) Information Evening

Next Tuesday, 23 March, we will be hosting a virtual presentation on “The ATAR and applying to university through UAC”.

Our UAC representative, Ms Trudy Noller, will be providing information on a range of topics relevant to our senior students. The evening will begin promptly at 6pm.

• What is the ATAR?
• How the ATAR is calculated
• Scaling, why?
• The UAC application process
• Educational Access Schemes
• Schools Recommendation Schemes (early entry)
• Equity Scholarships
• Adjustment Factors & selection ranks
• Offers.

If your daughter has decided upon a non-ATAR pathway, attendance at this evening is still required as information on the various schemes available to your daughter will be explained. An invitation has been sent to all parents of students in Year 11 and 12 via COMPASS.
