Engineer Success Story
As hundreds of year 12 students across Western Sydney focus on one of the most important periods of their lives, a Rouse Hill local has proved that an ATAR is not the only way to your dream career.
Cameron Gaul has always wanted to be an engineer since he was young but when he saw the ATAR to get into the course, he considered other pathways to university.
After hearing about the TAFE NSW Certificate IV in Tertiary Preparation, an alternative pathway into higher education that does not require an ATAR, Cameron jumped at the opportunity.
He is now in his first year of a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at Macquarie University and said he is thriving at University.
