Wellington’s University Fair: getting ahead of the process
Joshua Beard
Director of Higher Education & CareersIn March, Wellington Shanghai held its annual University Fair. This year, over 75 top-ranked schools from more than 20 global destinations participated. Our University Fair is the key event in the College’s university guidance programme and is an important annual milestone on our 'Higher Education Pathway’, which provides our Senior School pupils with a structured programme of university and career education, advice and guidance tailored to the needs of their age group.
Pupils in years 9 to 12 got direct access to admissions officers from over 75 top-ranked schools in more than 20 global destinations. They were able start mapping out their futures and learn more about what higher education opportunities are available to them as well as what they can do to become more competitive applicants.
Our University Fair is the key event in the College’s university guidance programme and is an important annual milestone on our 'Higher Education Pathway’, which provides our Senior School pupils with a structured programme of university and career education, advice and guidance tailored to the needs of their age group.
For the past three years, we have hosted this event online. This has been out of necessity, owing to pandemic-related restrictions. But we have also seen universities make a general strategic shift to online. Part of this is simply a matter of meeting potential students where they are. After all, secondary school-aged children are digital natives through and through.
Whether we continue to hold this event fully online in the years to come remains to be seen.
And although the fair has concluded, we encourage all Senior School parents to talk with their children about the fair experience and the questions it has stirred in them about the future. For those parents who want to learn more about the event or have other questions about university and careers, please contact the University Guidance team anytime.
