Home Hill State High School students were granted the opportunity to attend the James Cook University UniX event earlier this week.
20 Year 8 Home Hill State High School students were able to attend the UniX Year 8 event, which helps students identify and construct their ideal futures, aid them in making constructive choices for their school students to achieve their goals, and promote positive learning pathways post-secondary school.
The students were able to sample a range of different subjects, including medicine, nursing, science, engineering, education, social sciences, business, law, and the creative arts, with activities designed to develop and build student experience of their possible futures.
UniX Year 8 also includes comprehensive workplace experiences, so that students can ‘taste’ their potential careers and workplaces.
UniX Year 8 is designed to engage with students prior to selecting their Year 9 and 10 elective subjects, which often determines the tertiary pathway they wish to pursue.
