End of year Examination information for SACE and IBD

Valedictory and end of year information

From the Careers Office

Dear Students

Although many students find success through university pathways not all students choose to go down this path.  Artistic Director Nick Pill from Rising Sun Pictures who has worked on many Harry Potter films, and is hailed as a genius in the design industry, saw his star launch through TAFE. 

So…. If you are thinking of doing a Diploma as a bridging course to uni, or you want to do a trade apprenticeship, TAFE has many great options available.  I myself have studied a Diploma in HR and done other studies at TAFE. 

TAFE applications for Semester 1, 2013 open Monday 24 September.  Go to www.tafesa.edu.au or call them on 1800 882 661 for more information. 

Have questions regarding pathways, TAFE and otherwise?  Pop by during the hols and visit me here at PAC (email me first) or just email me your questions.

Kind regards

Traineeships 2013

Dear Year 12 Students

We are very fortunate to have Professor Randall Faull, Director of the Medical Program at the University of Adelaide coming to speak to interested Med/Dentistry students about their futures.  He has come in the last 2 years and has given very helpful advice including what to do if you don’t fare well on the UMAT, back up plans and what to expect regarding an offer from Adelaide Uni. 

This will launch the first part of our 3 UMAT Oral Assessment preparation workshops. 

DATE:                    Next Tuesday 18 September 2012

TIME:                    2:30 PM sharp to 4:00 PM

LOCATION:         Professional Development Centre above the staff room.  Entry via front reception and up the stairs -  1^st floor – follow the signs.

Please RSVP.

Also, - if you need help with your SATAC application (early close – Friday 28 September), I can help.  Quite a few boys are coming in for assistance, so don’t miss out.  J I sense a big relief from the Year 12’s after going on to the SATAC site and getting the process happening. 

And… make sure you avail yourself of a number of preferences (not just one or two), keeping in mind that SATAC will only offer you the one you are eligible for with your ATAR and pre-req’s.  You want to have a backup plan just in case…

Need scholarship support or career/study advice?  Book in! Don’t leave it to the last minute.  Please!

Kind regards
