Edith Cowan University – UniPrep Schools
Peter Moyes has partnered with Edith Cowan University (ECU) as a Foundation School to offer students a university pathway through the UniPrep Schools Program. It is offered to our Year 11 students to complete over two years and is recommended for students on a General Pathway.
The UniPrep Schools Program contains four academically-rigorous units: Future Ready Skills; Academic Literacies; Society and Cultural Studies; and Mathematics. Students complete all four units over Years 11 and 12. On successful completion of those units and graduation, students can then applyfor most of ECU’s undergraduate degrees (excluding courseswith specialist entry requirements) based on a nominalATAR of between 72 and 80.
This Program complements other senior school studies by helping students to further develop theiracademicskillsandintegratesuniversityexperiences,includingattendingtailoredopendays at ECU.
UniPrep Schools is an endorsed program that provides up to one-unit equivalent (C grade) for each of the four units successfully completed. It offers a skills-focused university pathway that prepares students for the requirements of undertaking a university degree.
The SCSA endorsed program is designed to complement students’ current WACE academic endeavours, while providing authentic experiences of university. Students to bridge secondary school experiences through the development of transferrable tertiary skills with the integration of university experiences.
