UNIVERSITY STAR 2023
The University of Canterbury and Victoria University both offer the opportunity for students to complete one or more papers with the fees paid for by school through the STAR programme. If you are interested, please contact Mr Davidson. There are some limitation on which papers you can do - especially if you are planning on taking any pre- med programme at Otago University.
(Secondary Tertiary Alignment Resource) is an important grant used by Wellington College to meet the identified learning needs of our senior students.
This is an excellent resource available for students to assist them in their career or subject choices.
The objectives of STAR are to:
provide flexible funding for courses which will better respond to students’ needs, motivate them to achieve, and facilitate their smooth transition to further education, training or employment
support students to explore career pathways and help them make informed decisions about their schooling and future work or study.
To learn more about this and to identify whether you may qualify for assistance, please make an appointment to see Hamish Davidson.
