Career News for Year 12 Students<\/h3>\n

In response to COVID-19 study disruptions, the Australian National University (ANU) has changed their admissions process for Year 12 students who are applying directly to ANU for undergraduate study in 2021. More information about how these changes will impact students is available at the following website:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.anu.edu.au\/news\/all-news\/information-for-prospective-students<\/a><\/p>\n

James Cook University (JCU) have also introduced an Early Offer Round. All Year 12 students should have received an email from me regarding early admission application details and a two-page application form. Please return this form to the College as soon as possible so that it may be forwarded onto JCU on your behalf. We are excited to report that some students have already received offers.<\/p>\n

For students involved in the Work Experience JCU & Mater Hospital HERO Program which was scheduled for May this year, please be reassured that you will not miss out on this fantastic opportunity. It will now take place during the second half of 2020. Further details will be made available to students closer to the time. All applications received so far will be considered for the program later in the year if students are comfortable with this.<\/p>\n

Finally, due to the preparations required by Townsville Hospital to manage the COVID-19 response, the decision has regretfully been made to cancel the Townsville Hospital High School Health Careers Programs scheduled for June 2 and 3, 2020. At this stage the programs scheduled for July 20 and 21 will go ahead as planned.<\/p>\n

Hospitality\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Year 12 Hospitality students are studying \u2018Food Trends\u2019 and creating dishes that could be served from a food truck. \u00a0\u00a0The girls had the opportunity to cook a gnocchi dish and sauce from scratch. \u00a0It was interesting to see how simple it was to make but at the same time quite time consuming.<\/p>\n
