Gulgong High School

Careers Newsletter
Term 3 Week 3
IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO HEAD TEACHERS and ALL STAFF
and to Parents/carers,

It may only take one piece of news to lead a student towards success in their life's career.

Below is a list of events and links to information that are available to students. They are
categorised into subject areas, if you would like any more information about any of the
following events please contact Ms Sewell. Also included is a list of upcoming events that
GHS students will have the opportunity to attend over the coming weeks.
Events GHS students have the opportunity to attend
UAC Opens for Uni admission applications Wednesday 2nd August
Students in year 12 will be able to start completing their Univeristy enteries for 2018 from the 2nd
August, they will also be able to apply for early entry through the Schools Recommendation
Scheme SRS, Ms Sewell will be working closely with year 12 this term to assist them with this
process. Applications need to be in by 29th September.

Subject Selection Night year 10 into 11 Thursday 3rd August 6pm School Hall
An information night for all year 10 students and their parent/carers will be held in regards to
upcoming subject selections for year 11 and 12 subjects. Information will be provided about the
different options of courses available and the various requirements of the HSC.

University Road Trip Year 10 Gulgong and Gilgandra High School 9th-11th August
Gilgandra and Gulgong High Schools are working together to give 9 selected year 10 students
from each school the opportunity to experience what University is like first hand. Coming from rural
and remote areas, our students do not often get the opportunity to attend University open days
due to distance and costs associated with travel etc.
We have seen the importance of exposing our students to opportunities outside of our small
communities at an earlier time in their schooling to help increase motivation and to assist in
making subject selection choices. Therefore, we have designed an excursion where our top year
10 students will visit approximately 7 Universities and Colleges over 3 days.
This excursion will expose students to the opportunities at Universities/ Collages We are hoping
that this will allow students to better plan for their future by establishing goals for future education/
training they will work towards achieving and ideally increase student engagement and motivation
in their senior schooling years to successfully achieving these goals.
Creative Industries Roadshow 29th August
This roadshow will allow 4 students of GHS to learn more about what the Creative Industries are,
the wide range of career pathways in the Creative Industries, skills and challenges faced by
students on their journey towards jobs in the Creative Industries, how to access online resources
about successful young Australian innovators and how to find tertiary education options.
This exhibition will have a number of stalls and videos showcasing a range of creative careers.
There will be 12 student mentors studying in these career areas who will be able to talk to
students, teachers and CAs about their experience. Students will then engage in Workshops in
Animation, Virtual Reality and Filmmaking.

Gulgong Local Career Expo 5th September

The Gulgong Careers Expo has been initiated to provide much needed information on
post school training and employment options as well as information in support services
available within our community. In addition to this it will be introducing Year 5 and 6
students from the local Primary schools to career opportunities in the local area and to
further develop their career goals. More exciting information will be provided closer to the
event.
