From the Career's Desk

QANTAS Group Pilot Academy


On 9 October, Year 10 students Joab Jocson and Jack Cave visited the QANTAS Group Pilot Academy at Wellcamp, with an interest in a career in aviation. Joab and Jack met with the Director of the Pilot Academy who gave them an insight into a career in aviation and the demanding criteria necessary to be accepted into this aviation school. The boys then spent some time on a tour of the QANTAS facilities including two flight simulator rooms, classrooms, briefing rooms, the hangar and tarmac. Joab and Jack were provided lunch in the cafeteria and then proceded to take a tour of the student facilities and accommodation. Both boys clearly enjoyed the experience and are considering a career in aviation post Year 12 education.

UniSQ Visit – Head Start Programs and Scholarships

On Wednesday 11 October, representatives from the University of Southern Queensland presented to Year 10 and 11 students on topics including the Head Start program and what to expect when attending University. Head Start is a program where universities such as UniSQ offer students subjects that they can study whilst attending school. These subjects are tailored to provide students with alternative subjects while study for an ATAR. The benefits with taking on a Head Start program can be that students can shorten their degree course up to 6 months and a financial benefit where the subjects studied while at school can be a considerable lower cost than when attending university as an adult.

The current year 12 students who have been offered a place at UniSQ or are planning to attend the university in the future were also provided with a presentation by the university representatives. This presentation was designed to assist students on how to access and apply for the 32 different scholarships on offer from the university. They were also provided with further information on scholarship opportunities that were external to the university. Please see the links provided below.
