Congratulations to the 2024 HSC Cohort students and their teachers for their outstanding efforts, with 94 Early Entry university offers to date across various universities and degree courses. In addition to these offers we have 9 of our UTS U@Uni Year 12 students who have gained access to their chosen course taking the current university entry total to 103 offers. Updates to this will be published as they are received. This achievement upholds Plumpton High School's legacy of providing diverse pathway options for students, guided by the dedicated Futures Centre team of Ms Karan, Ms Avon, and Ms Langham through the Career Path Planning Framework.
Plumpton High School's commitment to student success is evident through initiatives like the Student Executive Council (SEC), where students gain valuable experience in project management, public speaking, charity work, and leadership development in collaboration with City Group and ABCN. The school's Duke of Edinburgh International Award Scheme, recognised with a national award in 2023, fosters qualities such as resilience, community engagement, and leadership within the PDHPE Year 9 program.
The school's strong partnerships with over 60 business mentors, including ABCN, Citi Group, and others, provide students with guidance in leadership, career planning, STEM, and the arts. Additionally, involvement in University Partnership programs like UTS U@Uni Academy, UNSW Gateway, Western Sydney University Fast Forward, and Macquarie University Leaders and Achievers and Sydney Universities Future Students exposes students to university life experiences.
Plumpton's 14 High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) programs offer students direct links to universities and future career opportunities, including Media Industry Studies with UNSW, Engineering Studies, Computer Science with CS in Schools, Robotics, and Forensic Science. These programs, taught by industry experts such as engineers, dancers, musicians, scientists and artists, provide students with unique pathways to university.
Congratulations to all involved in supporting our students on their educational and career journeys, preparing them to become impactful global citizens and future leaders.
