The University Guidance Department provides support and advice for students to find the best-fit programme of study that will allow each student to flourish after high school.
This is done through individual meetings, group presentations and other in-person and online opportunities to explore university and further study options. The University Guidance Counsellors have country and university system expertise to support students in optimising their achievement.
Students in Years 13 and 12 receive one-to-one support in planning for and completing applications, in addition to preparatory activities, presentations and information on study options and identifying requirements. We offer Year 11 students introductory information on preparing for higher education plus IB Diploma subject choice advice and are available for individual meetings if requested.
