Term 1 Careers Appointments

All Year 12 students have the option to meet with Mrs Wanda Hayes this term. Each student and their parents will receive an invitation to attend a meeting over the coming weeks. The focus of the meeting is on individual forward planning for next year. Year 12 students will also be required to meet with Mrs Hayes during Term 3, to confirm and consolidate their plans. If you would prefer an appointment earlier this term, please email Mrs Ann Barwick to request a time: abarwick@pacluth.qld.edu.au.

Students in other year levels are also welcome to request appointments. To do so, please email either Mrs Hayes (whayes@pacluth.qld.edu.au) or Mrs Barwick.

Pacific Now a SAT Testing Centre

SAT’s are university entrance exams, which are used in several places around the world, including by nearly all universities in North America. There are fewer than 20 locations in Australia where students can sit the SAT’s, and Pacific Lutheran College is now the first and only location on the Sunshine Coast. This means that any of our students who wish to apply to study overseas, in a place that uses SAT results, can sit the tests right here in our own school. If you are interested to find out more, please contact Mrs Hayes.
