YEAR 10 (YEAR 11 2023) SUBJECT SELECTION

Students have now received all their subject selection materials and are working through this in Pastoral Care and in their PLP classes. Students should have familiarised themselves with the materials and looked at the 2023 Curriculum Booklet accessible on the Year 10 Portal and via the link sent out in emails. If students still require support in making appropriate subject selections they are invited to visit the LEC Desk in person and make an appointment with one of the Career Counsellors. They will be given an Appointment Preparation sheet to complete and will bring this to their 30 minute appointment. It is imperative that students begin this process ASAP as all online and hard copy forms need to be submitted by Wednesday 24 August. At the Subject Counselling Day on 30 August, the discussion is predominantly a review of the choices rather than starting from scratch therefore students are encouraged to research and have discussions before lodging their forms on August 24.

YEAR 10 AND YEAR 11 STUDENTS: MEDICINE, DENTISTRY OR ORAL HEALTH PATHWAYS

Given the complexity of the pathways into these very popular areas, the Careers Team will run a lunch time session this coming Wednesday, 17 August in LEC Room 3 to go over the requirements. We hope the timely presentation of these requirements will inform better subject selection decisions into Year 11 and 12. Interested students must attend this event rather than booking in for a separate counselling session as most questions will be answered during the session.

YEAR 9 TO 11 STUDENTS: USA SPORTS SCHOLARSHIPS TO USA UNIVERSITIES

The pathway to being competitive for a Division 1 or Division 2 Sports Scholarship starts with Year 9 subjects and grades. There is a CORE subject requirement to be eligible. Students who wish to discuss this are invited to book in for Career Counselling appointment with Ms Coorey ASAP. The best place to start investigations is the US Consulate: EducationUSA Facebook page and to get an understanding of core course requirements, please click here.

YEAR 12

The Careers Team have now sent the link to parents/caregivers to access the 2023 Year 12 Parent SATAC Talk video and it has also been posted on the Careers and Vet Portal Tile on SEQTA under Important Information Presentations. In the video and the PowerPoint presentation there is a great deal of information including links to the recently announced School Leaver ATO Job opportunites for 2023.

This coming Monday, August 15, we will be presenting to Year 12 students interested in a Tertiary pathway to university and/or TAFESA in the LEC Auditorium at 1:45pm to 2:30pm. Given the continuation of the Flinders University Year 11 Grade Conditional Pathway into 2023, even students who will not be eligible for an ATAR can get an offer to particular courses at Flinders based on their Year 11 grades. This may mean that some students are only now contemplating a pathway. The first deadline for Year 12 students in this category is Tuesday 23 August at 5:00pm for the University of Adelaide Conditional Offer scheme.
