WE SEE THE
AWESOME IN YOU.
Most people are good at something. What’s your passion?
Do you excel at English literature? Are you a mental
mathematician? An advocate for social justice? A designer
extraordinaire? Do you breathe foreign languages?
It’s important to acknowledge and play to your strengths
because, ultimately, your strengths will determine your future.
This is the premise behind Western Sydney University’s HSC
True Reward - a unique early offer program that recognises the
strengths of each individual.
True Reward offers you a place at Western before you receive
your ATAR, on the basis of relevant HSC subject results. Why?
Because at Western we recognise that too often, the ATAR
system overlooks natural strengths and talent.
At Western, we see the awesome in you. We recognise that
you are much more than your ATAR. True Reward focuses on
the scores that reflect your strong points.
True Reward is a better system. It’s a more equitable system.
It’s a system that makes sense.
True Reward acknowledges the idea that if you’re good at
something, you’re just what Western is looking for.
