Future Talk is a series of information sessions designed specifically for a year 12 student's "support crew". If you're a parent or carer of a year 12 student and you’re perplexed by the HSC, we've got your back.
You can access free informative zoom sessions on a variety of subjects (including applying for university and how to best support your HSC students) as well as helpful weekly emails. Our sessions are run by a variety of experienced UOW staff, who are there to help you. You’ll have the chance to ask any questions you might have around the HSC, applying to university, pathways, careers, gap years or anything else you might be wondering about!
