Life Ready

All Year 11 students attend the UOW Shoalhaven campus on Wednesday 20 February to undertake the Life ready program. Students attended workshops covering study and life skills about: note taking, exam preparation, study timetabling, learning styles and information sessions about UPP and early admissions.

Shoalhaven Professional Business Snapshot

Year 11 students, along with students from other local schools, were given the opportunity to attend businesses in the Nowra CBD and experience different workplaces. During these sessions they found out the pathways for getting into these professions, what actually occurs in the day-to-day life of the workers and did enjoyable and relevant hands on problem solving activities. The professions included: architecture, engineering, town planning, chiropractic, physiotherapy, podiatry and exercise physiology.

Year 10 students should look out for this opportunity next year.
