Registration with UAC due: 30 September<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students are encouraged to carefully monitor offer rounds and change preferences before the rounds close as indicated below. Students can only receive one offer (if eligible) per round.

Once an offer has been accepted, students should remove the course from their preferences and rearrange their preferences should they wish to be considered for further rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work Experience Spotlight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last week, Year 12 student Evangeline Avakoumides had the opportunity to undertake work experience in a unique week-long program at the Australian Museum. Below is her reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My experience at the Australian Museum was fantastic, spanning across malacology, mineralogy, digital and education services. I particularly enjoyed exploring the relics room and the dinosaur section, which I thought was incredible. We worked alongside research specialists, learning about the preservation of native species and how specimens are catalogued and stored. I also gained insight into how exhibitions are designed for public engagement, the balance between conservation and accessibility, and the role digital services play in making collections widely available. Overall, it was an engaging and eye-opening experience that strengthened my appreciation for both science and history.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
