CAREERS NETWORK BULLETIN

C h a n g e o f P r e f e r e n c eWelcome to issue 4 of the Careers Network Bulletin for 2015. This edition will focus on Change of Preference, providing you and your students with all the

information you need to navigate this important time of year.

CHANGE OF PREFERENCE IS AROUND THE CORNER!Change of Preference can be a stressful time of year but Deakin is here to help both you and your students.

While students can change their preferences from 23 November, we know the real demand comes after ATAR results are released. With no shortage of ways to get all the information you need, why not make Deakin your first point of call?

From 7 am on Monday 14 December Deakin will open a hotline to answer any enquiries from students, parents and teachers.

We will also run various events and online chats that are designed to inform and encourage students to make the best choice.

Please see page 2 for more details.

This months’ recommendation is from Student Recruitment Officer, Ken Zuidema.

As we head towards the pointy end of the year, resilience becomes key for both staff and students. While there will be ups and downs, the ability of a person to respond to speed bumps will be a key factor in achieving success.

Below is a link to famous examples of resilience. These people didn’t let setbacks prevent them from achieving their dreams.
