It's hard to believe we are already at the end of Term 2!! I've had a steady stream of students requesting meetings to discuss their future plans. Please encourage your daughter to come and see me if they have any career related questions.

Tertiary Scholarships

Some scholarships are now open and I do encourage Year 13 students to apply for these if they fit the criteria. I am happy to proofread and edit applications, if the students share them with me in plenty of time. Check out the following pages for more information:

Hall of Residence Applications

These open on 1st August and close mid September, although I would advise against leaving it to the last minute. Students should research online and start thinking about which Hall they would like to apply to. Again I am happy to help proofread/edit applications if they are shared with me in plenty of time.

Tertiary Course Planning

The University and Polytechnic Liaison Officers will be coming back in Term 3 to sit down with students to help plan their first year of tertiary study. See dates below.
