Aspiring to higher education
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. Some of our partnerships include:
University of Wollongong
#FutureMe program
The Year 8 #FutureMe Program incoporates 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.
In2Uni
In2Uni activities engage students in our school to build awarness and aspirations towards higher education. This program helps students to navigate and achieve their academic goals, whilst enabling them to participate in higher education.
Learning Labs
Learning labs is a holiday program offered to our high performance students in Years 7 to 10. The workshop content is both rigorous and challenging, and is designed to stimulate the interest and curiosity of the academically gifted.
Western Sydney University
