Cobar High’s 2009 Year 12 students are looking forward to university, tertiary studies or apprenticeships as they embark on their next adventure after completing last year’s HSC exams.
Mikaela Smith, Jada Parisi and Jaimee Cohen received early entry into university on the principal’s recommendations while Lauren Harden-Harpley, Travis Dunlevy and Scott Evans have obtained apprenticeships with local businesses.
Heading for Queensland are Demi Robinson, studying at the Griffith University on the Gold Coast and Nikolah Best who has been accepted for a Bachelor of Business Studies at the Queensland University of Technology.
University studies are also ahead for Rhys Power and Zoe Semmler.
Last year’s principal Peter Cochrane said there were some good individual results in the 2009 HSC for Cobar High School.
“A number of students received Band 5 results in Business Studies, Advanced English, PD/H/PE, Visual Arts and Construction,” he said.
“It was pleasing to see that the students who put effort into their preparation and who studied for the exams received the results they deserved.
“All students must be congratulated on gaining their HSC.”
After a year at the Newcastle University undertaking a PE teaching degree, Josh Kemp will join Duane Parisi at Bathurst Campus of the Charles Sturt University and study to be paramedic.
The three-year course, Josh said, will enable him to apply to the NSW Ambulance Service for employment and help people in medical situations and hopefully save lives.
A Bachelor of Arts degree at Wagga Wagga campus of Charles Sturt University will help Mikaela Smith decide on her future career.
“The university covers all areas I’m
interested in and at the end of the year hopefully I can figure out where I want to go from there.
“At school I tended to do well and I enjoyed modern history, legal studies and English so I’m hoping I can figure out from that and am looking forward to debating and public speaking.”
Mikaela took out the 2009 prestigious Caltex Award Best All Rounder in Senior School.
Outstanding sportsperson, 17-year-old Jaimee Cohen is looking forward to completing the Bachelor of Education degree at Bathurst’s Charles Sturt University and teaching PE and sports in a high school.
“I’ve wanted to do the course since Year 9 and so worked hard with that in mind,” she said.
A Rotary Exchange Scholarship will see Jada Parisi deferring university for a year as she travels to Valencia in Spain.
Next year she will join brother Duane at Bathurst as she undertakes the Bachelor of Business majoring in public relations.
“The courses at Charles Sturt gives heaps and heaps of opportunities when you finish.”
