Years 11 and 12 Cadetships Information Session

Last week, Alister from Professional Cadetships Australia presented to approximately 30 interested Years 11 and 12 students at lunch time on the benefits of pursuing a cadetship program whilst studying at university. Cadets combine study at the university of their choice in Sydney with paid work at either UBS, Barrenjoey Capital Partners or Macquarie Group in Sydney. 

As a cadet, students may choose from a wide range of degrees, including economics, commerce, business, actuarial studies, computer science & technology, mathematics and the humanities. In 2023, the Cadetships Program offers exciting cadetship opportunities in a range of business areas at participating companies. Students will work alongside world-class professionals and are well remunerated.

By studying and working at a leading company from the start of university, cadets earn a competitive advantage over students who delay work until after university. Students in Year 12 are encouraged to consider this opportunity and access further information on the University tile of the Careers Years 10-12 page on Veritas Online if they wish to apply. Applications for school assessment are due on Friday 5 May for Business Cadetships and 19 May for Technology Cadetships.

Year 10 Career Interviews

On Tuesday, students in Year 10 would have received an email from Career Avenues detailing the process to book their 30-minute one-to-one careers interview with a careers consultant as part of the second stage of their careers profiling. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn more about their profile and how to interpret the results with regard to their aptitudes and strengths, whilst also giving them time to explore their interests and possible career paths. Interviews will take place over Zoom from 4 May to 11 May and parents are welcome to join remotely by accessing the Zoom link from your daughter. Year 10 students are reminded to book their interview in a time that does not clash with any assessment tasks or days students may be absent for other school-related activities.

Year 12 UAC access

Year 12 students will receive their University Admissions Centre (UAC) pin via email on 5 April. This will enable them to commence their applications to university which are due on 30 September. Students are reminded that not all universities will have all of their courses uploaded to UAC as of April but will do so in the coming months.
