Despite study pressures of the Higher School Certificate, sport commitments and having to wear a sling for three months after a shoulder injury, Strathfield Campus student Anthony Calavassy still found time to volunteer during Year 12.
So when it came to applying for university, he knew that the Early Achievers’ Program at ACU would take into account these community contributions.
The popular program, now in its third year, offers places to students who demonstrate a commitment to their communities as well as their studies.
“During year 12, I worked with young and disadvantaged children, teaching them basic football skills through NSW Rugby Union,” Anthony said.
Now in his second year of a Bachelor of Teaching / Bachelor of Arts, the 21-year-old hopes to become a woodwork teacher.
“I would really recommend the Early Achievers’ Program to anyone thinking about applying, who has studied hard at school but also given something back to the community,” Anthony said. “My volunteer work really helped me to secure a place, and it was great that it was appreciated.”
