UTS Discovery Day - Design & Communication π¨π£οΈ Last week, a group of Year 10 and Year 11 students attended an exciting Discovery Day at UTS, focusing on the world of Design and Communication where the students explored a range of study options through interactive workshops and presentations. The day gave students valuable insights into university life and future pathways in the creative and communication fields. From building scale models and sketching animated characters, to exploring advertising and conducting interviews on real-world issues - the day was packed with creative inspiration and career insights. π‘π¬π° Students were thrilled to bump into ex McAuley student Czeydan, Class of 2021, who is now thriving at UTS! Charlotte from Year 11 reflected that, "Having the opportunity to attend UTS taught me many valuable lessons, like what universities look for during enrolment. I gained knowledge about various courses, majors and minors such as journalism and criminology and the different modules available."
