Wonderful to see our Year 12 students thoroughly engaged in their University of Technology (UTS) U@Uni UniPrep for session Term 1 2024. Our Plumpton students working hard with their UTS Student Ambassadors.
In the final year of the U@Uni Academy students take part in UniPrep Block 1 – My Story. It’s a free tutoring and mentoring program, supporting them to achieve their personal best and get ready to start uni.
In a typical tutoring session, students may work through past exam questions, share study tips, get help with assignments and homework, and discuss subject material with other students and with U@Uni Student Ambassadors. The Student Ambassadors can also share their personal experience of what it's like to start uni, how to choose your course or subjects, and other things you can expect if you choose to pursue uni yourself.
There will be time during sessions where our Student Ambassadors can also help make sure students are meeting the graduation requirements to gain entry to UTS through the U@Uni Academy with Plumpton engaged in the program over 6 years.
UniPrep sessions include mentoring and academic support delivered by UTS ambassadors — current students at UTS. Students may have met some of them during your Year 11 U@Uni Academy activities. They’ve been chosen as role models for their attitudes and skills useful for success in the HSC and first year of university. UTS ambassadors can guide students in what UTS has to offer, and what it means to be a student here.
Thank you to UTS and facilitating students for the mentoring and support they provide our students that continues to build their confidence and capacity to thrive at university and beyond. Thank you to Gemma for her amazing work with our students and UTS.
