After a successful first year, we are excited to move into our second year of offering the UC Accelerated Pathways Program (H Courses) to ACT Year 11 students. In 2022, Year 11 students will have the opportunity to study in Anatomy and Physiology, Business Decision Making, Psychology, and two new course areas, Politics and Democracy, and Creative Writing.
A recording of the recent online information evening (held October 19) and application documents can be found on the program webpage: https://www.canberra.edu.au/campaign/accelerated-pathways-program.
Student applications will need to be endorsed by the college in the first half of Term 1, as they were earlier this year. To assist the college in providing an informed endorsement of the student, applicants may provide a written reference from their high school or Year 10 Semester 2 report comments. This information, in addition to what has been observed in the college setting, can be used to inform the endorsement. This is optional and has been suggested for students who will be transitioning to a new school for Year 11. These additional documents can be submitted with the application if the college deems it appropriate.
For more information please contact the program coordinator: amym.smith@act.gov.au |
