Teamwork is the ability to work together towards a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments towards organisational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.
UAC
For students intending to study at university post-school, UAC is the organisation you need to apply through. However, they also do a lot more than just process your applications. Their website is full of resources to support your post school decisions. UAC run informative webinars throughout the year. They also provide booklets to explain all you need, including ATAR calculations and scholarships available through UAC. They also provide updates on the changes to university course offerings and a list of open days.
If you are unsure what you want to study, UAC has a Year 10 Subject Compass as well as a Year 12 Course Compass to assist.
Parents and students are able to register for their newsletters. Parent workshops are also offered by UAC.

Year 10 Work Experience
Our Year 10 students will be undertaking work experience in Term 4 (25 – 29 November). This is a very exciting time for Year 10, and also a little daunting. The benefits of work experience are well-researched. They allow students to confidently move forward in their studies, whether this is because they have explored a career option they loved, or they discovered a career option was not what they thought it was, and is no longer of interest to them. It also allows students to develop skills in the job search process, which will benefit them as they apply for part-time work, and scholarships in the future. Getting up and “going to work” for a week is valuable in itself to allow students some independence and an idea of the reality of work.
If you are interested in offering students a work placement opportunity through your workplace, please reach out to me. I am looking forward to sharing photos of work experience when our students have completed the week.
