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.
