UniSC HeadStart Information Evening (Years 10 and 11)

Students and their parents are invited to UniSC’s Headstart Information Evening where we’ll take them through everything they need to know to about the program.

Now also available to Year 10 students in Semester 2 (July), Headstart gives students in Years 10 – 12 the chance to start uni in high school, giving them a real university experience and setting them up for their future.
