University of NSW (UNSW) Year 10 Gateway Program at Plumpton High School

University of NSW Year 10 Gateway program

The UNSW Gateway Program supports students on their journey to university from Years 10 to 12. Our Year 10 students worked with UNSW Gateway Ambassadors to create their own ‘Pocket Guide to My Future’. Through thoughtful discussions with current UNSW Gateway Ambassadors, Plumpton High School students explored their personal values and learned how values can connect them to potential career paths and study options.

Students unpacked their unique values and saw firsthand how these can steer them towards meaningful careers and study opportunities. The UNSW Ambassadors shared their own educational journeys from high school to UNSW through the Gateway Pathway, encouraging participants Year 10s to remain open to various pathways for the future. Plumpton High School is a UNSW Gateway Partner School giving students the opportunity to attend on-campus days, in-school workshops and exclusive HSC tutoring sessions – all for free!

As part of the program, students learn how to navigate their final exams, explore interests and apply for uni. They take part in workshops, on-campus days, online learning, and gain support in applying for the Gateway Admission Pathway to fast-track entry into UNSW.

Year 10 is a great time to start thinking about what the future holds. If students are interested in pursuing an ATAR and applying for uni, the Gateway Program is a great first step on their journey.

The Gateway Program is available for students in Year 10 at Gateway partner schools, who intend to pursue an ATAR and are interested in attending university. Your school will need to sign up for you to attend.
