Nagle Catholic College and Curtin University have a partnership that enables the College to deliver the UniReady course to Year 12 students.
UniReady is an academic program that is designed to help students prepare for successful entry into university. It can help students qualify for entry into many courses at a range of universities.
Students who complete the UniReady program are awarded Curtin’s minimum criteria for university entrance which is 70 ATAR.
The program is organised by Curtin and delivered at school by Nagle teachers. Students who study UniReady complete 4 UniReady units (2 per semester); English and Religious Education, as well as 2 other courses of their choice.
There are selection criteria for admission into the program. One criterion is that students must be studying at least one ATAR course in Year 12. It is recommended that students commence the study of an ATAR course as part of their Year 11 courses if there is the possibility of studying UniReady in Year 12.
Submissions for UniReady are conducted during Term 3.
For further information on the UniReady, please contact the College.
Feedback from our current Year 12 students completing UniReady.
In Year 11 I was on a four course ATAR pathway with two General classes. I quickly learnt that ATAR takes a lot of time, effort and motivation, which left me with little time to play sports or do outside of school activities. I eventually dropped my ATAR courses by Semester Two, with the hopes to join UniReady in Year 12. At the start of Year 12, I got into UniReady and expected a similar workload to ATAR, but I was pleased when I realised that UniReady is nothing like ATAR. The assessments are extremely reasonable, and the courses genuinely prepares you for university. Choosing UniReady has definitely been the smartest and best decision I have made in high school and one step closer to my university pathway to Secondary Teaching (Sport and Health).

I chose to do UniReady because I wanted to go to university, and I needed an ATAR of 70, but I found that doing an ATAR pathway was too difficult for me. So far, the course has been good and is helping me prepare for university by giving me the correct writing and referencing formats.
