Parents and Carers Info Sessions
A group of University students
Final application deadlines to study at university in 2023 are fast approaching, and the University of Newcastle wants parents to know that we're here to help.
If you have a child who has recently finished Year 12, left high school without completing Year 12, or is unsure of what to do after school, the University of Newcastle is holding a Parents and Carers Information Session to answer all your questions.
Here is a sneak peek of the types of questions to be covered:
- Why should my child pursue tertiary education?
- What areas of study will best prepare my child for the future workforce?
- How do ATARs, Selection Ranks, and UAC preferences work?
- What is the process for accepting an offer?
- My child has struggled at school but has potential and ambition, what are their options?
- What pathways do you have into university for those who didn’t complete high school?
- What support can the University provide my child?
Parents and Carers will have the opportunity to hear from knowledgeable university staff covering a range of different topics to assist you in supporting your child/ren through their transition from high school. You’ll also have the option to participate in a Q&A with our experts as well as have one-on-one discussions at our expo to ensure you walk away feeling confident and informed.
At the University of Newcastle, there's a place for everyone.
