University and Tertiary Pathways Showcase
On Monday 27 February our Year 12s attended the annual University and Tertiary Studies Expo at Beerwah State High School.
Representatives from Sunshine Coast University, Queensland University of Technology, Australian Catholic University, University of Queensland, Bond University, Griffith University, University of Southern Queensland, Central Queensland University, TAFE QLD East Coast and Defence Force Recruiting made presentations on life at university, financial support and living away from home.
The Showcase was a great opportunity for students to explore course options, scholarships and possible pathways.
The Defence Force was also on hand to provide the latest information regarding recruitment processes, the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) and job opportunities.
We will continue to have guest speakers from various tertiary institutions to assembly, and have our own Careers and University Expo on 3 August 2017 along with the various University Open Days and Expos available throughout the year.
Students are, of course, very welcome to pop into the Future Pathways office at any time to discuss ideas and ask questions on possible courses and pathways after Year 12.
