HSC Week 2 done and dusted!!
Congratulations to Year 12 who are officially half way through the HSC! The last HSC exam this year is 11 November, but we already have a few students who have finished! To complete 13 years of schooling is an incredible accomplishment, and I would like to acknowledge all the hard work and sacrifices you have made along the way to get to this point.
UAC and Early round offers
UAC will start making the first of the SRS (School recommendation scheme) offers from the 26 November, so please keep checking your UAC inbox and personal emails for university offers. Remember, you can receive multiple offers but you can only accept 1 offer per round so you will need to make changes to your preferences to accept them. This process needs to be managed to maximise your offers and options. There are two early offer rounds before the HSC results and ATARs are released on Friday 18 December. Remember you need your Board of Studies student number and PIN to access your HSC results from NESA (from 6 am) and you will then need your UAC Student number and UAC Pin to access your ATAR result (from 9 am). You can download the UAC APP to make the process simpler.
CSU ATAR Advice Day
18 and 19 December You can discuss all things ATAR, courses, scholarships, admission pathways and next steps. More details to come! https://study.csu.edu.au/life/events
Career Support via MyFuture Website
MyFuture, Australia’s national career information service, offers parents and students a ‘one-stop shop’ to assist with career planning, career pathways and work transitions. MyFuture (https:// myfuture.edu.au/) provides unbiased, high-quality career exploration, learning and employment information and resources. The government-funded website, has been recently revamped and is available for all NSW citizens and features information and resources developed by career experts and professionals, using current data from: • 358 occupational profiles • 19 industry profiles • over 15,000 Australian higher education and vocational education and training (VET) courses. Parents and carers are often the most powerful influencers in shaping their child’s career decisions and pathways, therefore MyFuture has a dedicated section for parents and carers called Assist Your Child (https://myfuture.edu.au/assist-others). It will help you start a conversation with your child about the world of work and how to support and encourage them with their career decision-making. Key content includes: •
Supporting your child’s job aspirations: learn more about future occupation.
Supporting your child’s career development: tips on how to help them develop selfawareness for career decisionmaking, identify career opportunities, build the confidence to make career decisions, and deal with career transitions.
Making good career decisions.
My Career Profile: an interactive career tool to help your child identify their interests, values and skills, along with a list of suggested occupations, required qualifications and pathways to get the career conversations started.

COVID-19 Update - Keeping our College Community safe
This week’s COVID-19 update will be quite short, hopefully a sign that things are settling down and beginning to return to “normal”. Firstly, If you haven’t already, I encourage you to review the updated COVID-19 Health and Safety Protocols for Scots All Saints by following this link https://scotsallsaints.nsw.edu.au/wp-content/ uploads/2020/10/Updated-Protocol-for-Staff-and-Students-health-and-safety.pdf. The most recent update includes changes to student absences that will make your lives a little easier. For example, in many circumstances we no longer require asymptomatic siblings to stay home if a student is unwell and tested for COVID, this is in line with the current recommendations of the New South Wales Government. I would also like to issue another friendly reminder that there should be no parents or carers on campus unless an appointment is made and special permission sought from the Head of College or Head of Campus. If you need to visit a staff member please contact them ahead of time to make that arrangement. This will allow the staff member time to follow the required channels and obtain special permission for the meeting to occur. If you need to attend the uniform shop you are required to make an appointment beforehand and then sign in at reception before making your way over. We understand the occasional uniform emergency can occur so If you find yourself in this situation please go to reception, they will check that the uniform shop can see you and have you sign in prior to making your way over. We are asking that you do this so that we can ensure accurate records of who is visiting the campus. The ladies in the uniform shop have been asked to send anyone who hasn’t signed in back to reception. Please don’t put them in the awkward position of having to do so. The HSC is well underway and we look forward to allowing more to happen after its conclusion. We’ve always enjoyed a wonderful community spirit at Scots All Saints and are so looking forward to a time when we can do more together as a community and enjoy each other’s company routinely and without restriction once again. Mrs Felicity Brown Registered Nurse and COVID-19 Safe Marshall
