University partnerships
St Johns Park High School prepares students for future success through our partnerships with universities. This promotes aspirations and awareness towards higher education and beyond. Our school provides students with the knowledge, skills, and support to achieve their goals.
Fast Forward Program
The Fast Forward Program is a partnership which helps students to see the value of continuing their education through to Year 12 and beyond.
The program includes students from Year 9 to target pupils before they reach academic crossroads such as decisions regarding continuing into senior school and subsequent subject choices that may impact on future career decisions. Aims of the program include:
- To increase Western Sydney students' engagement in learning and the completion of Year 12
- To develop students' confidence, knowledge, skills, and education attainment
- To enhance Western Sydney students' awareness of post school education opportunities
- To promote the benefits of lifelong learning and life opportunities to students and their families
- To improve the participation of Western Sydney students in higher education
Gateway Program
The UNSW Gateway Program is about setting up students for success in their final years of high school. The in-school workshop encouraged students to explore their interests, identify their strengths and forge a path to their dream career. UNSW Ambassadors lead the workshop and support students in exploring post-school options.
#FutureMe Program
The Year 8 #FutureMe Program incorporates school-based workshops for students, teachers and families. Students explore the concept of a progression journey, identify occupations of interest, and recognise the link between their own studies and the post-school options that could lead to success. The program also incorporates content regarding aspiration and the language of higher education whilst engaging students in a 'hands-on' experience.
