Master Storyteller Inspires Year 12

For their incursion on The Craft of Writing, Year 12 English students had an inspiring session with bestselling author, Marcus Zusak, who spoke about storytelling, the ritual of writing, creating interesting characters, and the importance of the editing process.

“All writing, even a text message, needs editing! I read and read through The Book Thief 200 times to edit it. It is how you sharpen it and make the work yours.”

Engineers Of Tomorrow

Three Year 12 students, Amy Albinagorta, Veronica Bedingfield and Sophia Todd, are studying Engineering at UTS for their HSC. Veronica explains:

“The Wanago program at UTS for Engineering Studies is an excellent program for students in Years 11 and 12. The course focuses on first year university topics in general Engineering. The program covers a wide range of Engineering disciplines including civil, aeronautical, telecommunications and more! The practical projects are my favourite, as it is hands-on work in a fully deckedout laboratory with all the equipment you could need.

“The in-person course held at UTS every week is a great way to make new friends outside of school and learn in a subject that will give you a major advantage in university if you choose to pursue Engineering. Wanago also offers a lowered ATAR entry requirement and scholarships to anyone participating in the program.”
