Year 12 Careers Conference – ‘Beyond the School Gates’
Would you like to join Year 12 students for a working lunch?
Life beyond the Loreto Normanhurst school gates can be incredibly exciting for many Year 12 students. Learning to navigate these early post school years can, however, be challenging with dreams and hopes often not going to plan or university courses not working out – the trials and tribulations of life beyond school.
This year we are holding a Year 12 Careers Conference to look at some of the issues students may face after school which will assist the girls as they begin to prepare for life ‘Beyond the School Gates’.
Keynote speaker Jen Harwood is an award-winning inspirational and motivational speaker on the topics of business networking, leadership, confidence and building great teams. She will inspire and motivate the girls to build confidence with their networking skills and her presentation will be followed by lunch where the girls will have the opportunity to practice what they have learnt.
We are looking for volunteers to join Year 12 students at lunch to practice chatting to people they don’t know, asking questions and listening to responses – the valuable skills of networking which is required in all industries today.
Date: Thursday 28 June
Time: 11.30am-1.30pm (presentation and lunch)
Venue: Loreto Normanhurst Gymnasium
To volunteer or for further information please email the Careers Team or telephone 02 9473 7424

ANU New Admissions for 2020
The way domestic undergraduate students apply to ANU is changing. This new approach will be first in the nation, making it easier for students to choose Australia’s national university. The change launches in March 2019 for domestic school leaver applicants who will commence undergraduate programs in Semester 1, 2020.
Community service as important as ATAR for Year 12s in ANU overhaul
In a new scheme designed to diversify the university’s ranks, school leavers will be asked to meet a minimum threshold of community service and extra-curricular activity such as working part-time, playing sport or volunteering, on top of achieving the right score for their degree.
ANU vice-chancellor Professor Brian Schmidt said students were more than “just a score” and had unique skills on offer from time spent volunteering, working part-time, excelling in sports or performance or participating in student leadership.
