This term we have lots of opportunities for students to explore pathways beyond school. Check out the info below for KingsWay specific presentations and Open Days/ Information Sessions. Make sure you keep an eye on our website for up to date information.

Dear Parents & Students,

Tertiary Presentations for KWS parents & students

Online

A series of online presentations by Tertiary providers, run especially for KingsWay parents and students, timed for your convenience on Wednesday evenings during Term 2. All welcome to attend. Click here for links.

These sessions are aimed at Senior School students in Years 11, 12 and 13 who would like to find out more about learning pathways and tertiary courses. 

In addition, it’s a great chance to explore options and find out relevant information to assist in making subject choices in a student’s final years. There will be an overview of the different courses available, and a chance to ask questions. Parents/caregivers are encouraged to join in and be a part of this process.
