Careers Expo
May 14, 2018
As students enter High School their thoughts start to turn towards their future pathway and where that might lead. This can be equally daunting and exciting for students. To help our students make informed choices we are hosting a Careers Expo on Thursday 14 June from 4.15 – 6pm at our Carramar Campus.
There will be representatives from universities, TAFEs, and various industries who will be available to answer any questions you might have about courses, admission procedures, employment opportunities or apprenticeship pathways. This is a great opportunity to ask questions about your own particular pathway and find out what opportunities are available for you in the future. We strongly recommend that you make the time to come along and find out more.
The year 10 students will be taken by bus to Carramar immediately after school and all other students and their families are encouraged to join them at the Carramar campus. All students will be required to make their own way home.
We look forward to seeing you there!
If you have any questions please call

Short Courses for Credit Program
March 28, 2018
ECU’s School of Arts and Humanities invites you to join our Short Courses for Credit Program. These FREE courses are designed to introduce high school students to university life, offer an engaging, hands-on experience in a discipline of their choice and give them a head start at university. Our short courses are aimed at motivated year 11 and 12 students who have an existing interest and passion for the Arts and/or Media. These week-long specialist courses cover areas of study offered at ECU, promoting aspirations for tertiary education. Students gain a deeper understanding of the way university works, helping them to overcome any anxiety they might have about higher education.
Students develop self-confidence and public speaking skills, team work and group collaboration techniques and produce high quality written and digital works. They expand on skills that support their school work and come to discover that university is an option they might not have considered before. Importantly, students who pass the requirements of these courses will receive Advanced Standing (credit transfer) for a first/second year unit, once gaining successful admission to an applicable ECU undergraduate course. This means students will save time and money before even commencing their university studies.
The School of Arts and Humanities offers the following Short Courses for Credit:
Mount Lawley Campus
- Broadcasting
- Comics
- Events Management (PR)
- Fashion
- Film and Video (Scriptwriting)
- Journalism
- Photomedia
- Visual Arts (Drawing)
