Congratulations to Baxter Howard (Class of 2022) who was successful in securing The University of Technology Sydney’s Bachelor of Accounting Co-operative Scholarship! This is an exceptional scholarship valued at $54,000 which provides one-year full-time work training with global organisations, as well as wonderful career prospects. Applications are now open for 2024 and we look forward to welcoming Baxter back to School to share his experience with students in a few weeks’ time.
Recently, The University of New South Wales (UNSW) hosted career practitioners from around the country to provide updates on the University’s strategic priorities, latest course information, enrolments, scholarship information and alternate entry pathways. UNSW was recently named the most employable University, with its graduates having the highest median salary after three years of employment. Its developments include the introduction of four new vertical Health degrees:

- B.Applied Exercise Science/M.Clinical Exercise Physiology LSR 88
- B.Nutrition/M.Nutrition and Food Innovation LSR 90
- B.Pharmaceutical Medicine/M.Pharmacy LSR 92
*(LSR = lowest selection rank)
Applications for The Australian National University (ANU) have opened. It was wonderful to welcome ANU to the Year 12 meeting this week as they clearly explained application processes and timelines. Students asked insightful questions as they took on the responsibility of managing post-school applications. The ANU Open Day is on Saturday 18 March. This is an opportunity for Senior students to explore the campus, meet and connect with staff and current students.
Careers interviews with Year 11 students are going well with a strong interest being demonstrated in the Defence Forces. A reminder to students that applying to the Defence Forces is recommended during Year 11 as it allows time to complete aptitude testing every six months if required. Defence have a strong stream of information sessions throughout the year which can be accessed on the Calendar of Events on the Careers Lampada page.
