Believe it or not, parents are very influential in helping their children decide upon a degree program. You can assist your child to consider their options and identify possible future careers by:

• making sure you are well informed about the degree programs we offer
• guiding your child towards choosing appropriate subjects to study during Years 10, 11 and 12
• being familiar with the application process and important dates so you can give guidance if needed.

Making the transition from school to university can be exciting and challenging, and often requires a period of adjustment for your child.  Be understanding and keep yourself informed about our induction programs and support services, so you can provide solutions and direction:

• Orientation Week (or O'Week) is usually held the week before formal classes and can introduce your child to uni life.
• Our Orientation site is full of information about university life and can help your child settle in.

Most parents are interested in the financial cost of studying. Don't worry! It's great if you can help out financially, but there are also plenty of other options to cover costs - your financial situation needn't be a barrier to your child's education.
