UCAS APPLICATION 2012 - DEADLINE!!

Goodmorning people...this post goes out to all Pre-U2 SMSA students 2010 / 2011 who have applied for UCAS. I'm sure you are all aware that the deadline is 15th January 2012. This is a reminder that you must send in your applications AS SOON AS POSSIBLE  so that the career and higher education team can check your applications thoroughly and approve to be sent to UCAS. Also, we have found out that some applications were sent to us however we have not received the reference forms from your subject tutors so please kindly remind your tutors to return them back to the careers office at the ground floor of the school's administration. 

If you have not asked your GP tutors to check your PS, please send them to us. 

Email : smsacareers@hotmail.com

This is taken from the UCAS website regarding the deadline:

**You are strongly recommended to give yourself sufficient time to complete your application, including your reference (if necessary), pay your application fee and resolve any queries so that it can be sent to us before the relevant deadline passes.

Our advise: the deadline is for those applying to TOP 10 - 20 universities and will most probably give you unconditional offers. If you apply after the results are out, most universities will be full and you will be left with other universities instead of those with excellent facilities suited for your chosen courses.

So, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE if you are applying to UCAS, make sure it meets the deadline tomorrow! 

P/S: keep in mind that we need the weekend to relax too!

Pre-U Career & Higher Education 2012

Good morning SMSAnians....

This is the first blog update for 2012. On behalf of the Careers dept, I would like to welcome back ALL SMSA preU2 students as well as teachers (including myself!): let's make it our goals to be productive and innovative this year. However, I'm sure everyone is running around school worried about the introduction of 'Set 6' but as students, you should be more concerned with the progress of your studies and be more willing to attend classes because you need the extra lessons to prepare you for the upcoming tests and exams particularly the June 'As' exams (just saying!)

Anyway, we would also like to inform you that the Career officers in SMSA are:

1. Cg. Fadilah Hj Madali

2. Ms. Janet Lai Nyuk Lan

3. Mrs Joan L. Cherian

4. Cg Harry Heimpen Entai

5. Cg Ummi Kalsum Haji Omar

We are looking forward to serve and guide you regarding career and higher education advice as well as various information including scholarship applications, mock interviews and workshops as well as educational trips to career  & higher education fairs and exhibitions. The following is our contact information should you feel the need to get in touch with any one of us with questions or help (we'll try our very best to reply as soon as possible):

You can also come and see us personally at the Pre-U Career and Higher Education office at the ground floor in the School's administration block :)
