Do you ever worry you haven't done enough for your child?
Are you concerned they’ll miss out on future university or career opportunities?
Successfully getting a teenager through high school might be one of the most complicated things you ever do, and it’s normal to worry if you’ve done everything you can to support them.
For Year 9-12 parents of unmotivated teenagers who can't plan ahead, we're doing a live session on how to get your child into their choice of university so they don’t miss out on future opportunities after school.
‘Your Choice of University’ is a unique online event designed to support parents like you in guiding your child through the critical senior years, so they can access the best future opportunities.
We've invited Australian's leading experts on teen motivation, study skills and career advice to share their practical tips and strategies.
Learn how to create a University Choice Plan to get your child into their university course without missing out, including:
- Assessment 'pre-planning' to improve for higher marks, without the stress or last-minute cramming.
- Self-motivated students who stay focused and productive around distractions.
- How to get clear direction and make confident decisions about ATAR, university and career to increase earning potential.
Your FREE ticket includes access to the live session, exclusive resources and recording.
Come along to engage with experts, ask questions, and walk away with ways to unlock your child's highest potential so they never miss out.
Register NOW so you don’t miss out.
