Getting prepared

Each year of senior high school comes with its own unique set of priorities and tasks. By helping your child stay organised and take advantage of the resources available, you can help set them up for success in their university journey.

 

Encourage your child to start thinking about their career interests and research the types of university degrees required for those interests.

Help them get involved in extracurricular activities that will build their resume and demonstrate well-roundedness.

Look into university requirements, such as academic requirements.

Support them in maintaining good grades, as academic performance in year 11 can play a role in university admissions.

Encourage them to talk to their careers advisor about academic and career goals and seek advice on the steps they can take to achieve them.

Help them focus on preparing for and taking year 12 exams.

Support them applying to universities and reminding them of application deadlines.

Explore scholarships and financial aid opportunities with them and begin applying.

Attend as many open days and events as possible to learn more about different options and learning environments.

Encourage this time to be used to gain new experiences: A gap year can be a great opportunity to gain new skills that can be valuable in both personal and professional life.

If your child has already been accepted to a university and they still want to take a gap year, be sure to have them accept their offer so they can return to study easily.

Check with the university to see if deferring is an option and what the requirements are.

Pathways for every student

Going straight from school to a degree is one way to start uni, but it’s not the only way.

If your child doesn’t achieve the required ATAR to get into their course, the University may recommend they complete a pathway program first.

海角视频 has two excellent pathway programs suitable for school leavers. Both are fee-free and develop the skills that students will need at university to be successful. Undertaking a Diploma through SCU College is also an excellent way to commence university.
