Local & Regional Bonus Points
You can boost your points simply by attending a school in the local area—or in regional or remote NSW.
If you complete your HSC at a school in UOW’s ‘drawing area’, or at a rural or remote school in NSW, you’ll receive three bonus points for each of your UOW preferences.
This means you could be eligible for up to six Bonus Points when combined with Points to UOW—and even more points if you qualify for the Educational Access Scheme.
Here's an example of how Bonus Points help
