Year 11 Excursion – Ultimo TAFE and UTS Tours, HSC and Careers Expo
Year 11 spent Friday 29th May exploring a range of post‑school pathways, beginning with a tour of Ultimo TAFE where students learned about the breadth of courses available and the opportunities they can lead to. They then visited UTS for a guided campus tour, gaining insight into university learning and enjoying morning tea in the bustling student cafeteria as graduates celebrated nearby. The day continued at the HSC and Careers Expo at Randwick Racecourse, where students engaged with universities, private colleges, TAFEs and major employers, discovering the many pathways, scholarships, early entry programs, internships and employment options on offer. With so much information available in one place, the experience was invaluable, and Year 11 is the perfect time for students to begin exploring their interests and preparing for life beyond school well before Year 12 deadlines approach.
Step Up into Teaching (SUiT) Scholarship
Step Up Into Teaching (SUiT) is an Australian Catholic University (ACU) early entry program. It provides Year 11 students considering a career in teaching the opportunity to:
- Experience learning in a university environment.
- Study two University-level units while completing their school studies.
- Qualify to receive a conditional offer to study a Bachelor of Education degree at ACU.
- Receive credit for the units completed, HECS-free.
- Students will also gain real world experience of university learning skills such as referencing, study skills and navigating a university campus. This might help them decide if university studies are right for them.

We congratulate Isabella and Isabelle on their successful application.
