Hello everyone, it’s been great being with you on the forum these last few months- we’ve certainly enjoyed chatting with you and in return, hope you’ve found this service useful.
For Year 12 students, we’re thinking of you especially at this time, with the final week countdown to results. We understand the questions and the challenges that lay ahead as you decide the next steps on your educational journey. To assist you, we have a number of plans in place and there are many different forums to have your questions answered throughout your Change of Preference time (Monday 14- Monday 21 December 2015).
For personalised, on-the-spot service, come to our Change of Preference Expo.Wednesday 16 December, 3-7pm, Caulfield campus.
During Change of Preference week, the best place to have your questions answered and get final information about studying at Monash is at our Expo on the 16 December. Not only will you be able to speak to staff from each of our 10 faculties, there will also be teams from departments such as Scholarships, Admissions, Study Abroad and Future Students there to assist you. This year, we are also offering new activities to give you a taste of Monash life. These include one-on-one appointments with trained careers counsellors, entertainment from Monash clubs and societies, and an opportunity to share your thanks with your many supporters through school. There’ll be loads of free giveaways and social media fun – make sure you bring along your mobile phone.
