Macquarie University Early Entry Schemes
For those of you who are thinking of going to Macquarie Uni in Sydney, they have 2 early entry schemes available. For both of these schemes, due to current circumstances, they will use your Year 11 results which they can obtain from NESA to determine offers. Details of Macquarie's two early entry schemes can be found at this link:
Sydney University E12 scheme
The University of Sydney E12 scheme is open to Australian school students who have attended a rural or regional school during Year 11 and 12. The E12 Early Offer Scheme gives successful applicants an early conditional offer to an eligible University of Sydney course with a lower minimum ATAR, a $5950 first-year scholarship and eligibility to apply for additional accommodation scholarships.

Just Follow Your Passion They Say
Well....... for those of you who are still unsure of where you would like to aim your 2021 compass, perhaps this IS FOR YOU!
Skills Road is a government developed website dedicated to assisting your career exploration. Simply register for free and take the SkillsRoad Test.
It will generate a report that provides you with feedback on your strengths and the area's that you need to improve AND it generates a list of jobs that may be suited to you (based upon how you responded to the quiz).
I strongly encourage all students to take the Skills Road careers quiz and, perhaps after you have taken the quiz you may wish to come and have a chat about it.
