 UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY – ENGINEERING MULTIPLE CRITERIA ENTRY Although your Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) may be a good indicator to a successful career in engineering we also know, from our experience in the education of professional engineers, that other factors also play a significant role. Student motivation, interpersonal skills, design talent and technical aptitude are just a few aspects which can contribute quite strongly to both performance within an engineering degree and your success as a professional engineer. With this in mind we introduced the multiple criteria entry scheme for current school leavers a few years back. The Multiple Criteria Entry Scheme involves the following: 1. Addition of bonus points to your ATAR based on subjects taken in the HSC. 2. Adjustment of your ranking based on submission of a questionnaire. The Questionnaire is open and will close 30 November 2009 (for 2010 entry) https://support.eng.uts.edu.au/entry/   WSROC Group Apprentices Since 1982 WSROC Group Apprentices has worked with Australian Apprenticeships and is a great place to start a career.

It is too expensive, it is horrendously labour intensive and access is far from equitable. Whereas new technology has improved health, it has done nothing to reduce overall cost – quite the opposite – healthcare expenditure is rising alarmingly as a percentage of GDP. Effective new medical products and therapies tend to be expensive and drive up demand. If our future health systems are going keep us healthy at a reasonable cost then we must find new delivery models. Speakers will be invited from research, industry and government to provide their perspectives on this challenge, industry trends, new developments in the lab/clinic, as well as some local commercial successes. http://physics-industry.com/index.html  Meadowbank College of TAFE - Tasters Taste of TAFE Plumbing This six week short course for plumbing is due to commence Friday October 30, 9.00 am - 3.30 pm.

The ATAR does not take into account the advantages that some students have had, for example, access to facilities and coaching nor the challenges faced by others who have the necessary talent and aptitude for tertiary level study, but who may have experienced difficulties or disadvantage at a crucial time in their schooling and that impacted on their final results. These experiences or disadvantages during their schooling may have impacted adversely on their ATAR ranking and on their chances of obtaining an offer of university entry. For semester 1, 2010 entry, uniTEST is available for any current Year 12/HSC/International Baccalaureate student who satisfies the eligibility of disadvantage as assessed under the Educational Access Scheme (EAS) To register for the uniTEST exam STEP 1: Apply to Macquarie University through UAC. You will be advised of a UAC application number which is required as part of our uniTEST registration process. www.uac.edu.au. STEP 2: Through UAC also apply for assessment of your disadvantage under the Educational Access Scheme (EAS) unless you are already eligible through the Government Priority School Program. STEP 3: Register to sit the uniTEST exam on-line. Registrations will close 13 NOVEMBER. The test will be conducted on site at Macquarie University on Monday 7 December. http://www.reg.mq.edu.au/undergrad/admissions/prospectivestudents/alternatepathways/uniTest.htm  Adult Migrant Education Services (AMES) Nursing Scholarships Adult Migrant Education Services (AMES) is offering scholarships worth $10,000 each to train as an Enrolled Nurse.
