From the Futures Team
Spotlight on Masterclasses
The Futures team arranges opportunities for students to take a deeper dive into specific post-school pathways. So far this year we have hosted speakers from the University College London, St Andrew’s Scotland, UTS Bachelor of Accounting COOP Scholarship and the Australian Defence Force. We held a talk about studying in the USA and had the wonderful Jo Lamble share her knowledge about studying psychology.
This week we heard from University of Melbourne about studying in Victoria. In Week 6 Macquarie University will be sharing information about their Leaders and Achievers program. Elite Athlete and Performs programs will round out the term in Week 8. We are hoping to fit a UBS Cadetship talk in as well!
Upcoming opportunities are emailed to students in Years 10-12 (and Year 9 where appropriate).
Please see the Futures website for more information to help with planning post-school pathways.
