This term, Year 11 students participated in the UNSW Gateway Strengths for Success workshop. Students explored their strengths and tools for success through thought-provoking conversations and reflective activities. Guided by UNSW Gateway ambassadors, students discussed their “backpack of success”—the tools and strategies that will equip them to navigate future challenges and opportunities.
Year 12, on the other hand, participated in the UNSW Gateway Chatter That Matters workshop. Students explored their values, strengths and post-school aspirations through thought-provoking conversations and reflective activities. Guided by UNSW Gateway ambassadors, students tackled big questions like “Would you rather be liked or respected?”—a great starting point for further conversations at home.
We were delighted to see our former student, Kyle Marcelino (Year 12 - 2020), join us as a UNSW Gateway University Ambassador. Kyle entered UNSW through the Gateway Admission Pathway and is studying a combined Bachelor of Law/Bachelor of Commerce degree.
The workshop also introduced students to the UNSW Year 11 and 12 Gateway Programs. Through registering for the UNSW Gateway online program, Plumpton High School students can access free HSC support, tutoring, and instant access to the HSC4ME app - featuring practice exams, study notes, videos, and more, all developed by senior teachers and HSC markers.

As a UNSW Gateway partner school, Plumpton High students are eligible to apply for early admission through the Gateway Admission Pathway, with reduced ATAR requirements and tailored application timelines.
