G'day mate. I highly recommend you consider your options. There are two ways into the New South Wales Police Force at time of writing: that is what has been suggested, the Associate Degree in Policing Practice (only administered at the NSW Police College in Goulburn, as far as I'm aware) and...

In short, pester your Design and Technology teacher for that information. He should be able to provide at least a basic overview of what to stick in it. Stick every little smidgen of your project in there. Detail is everything.

Thanks mate. I'll have to get onto it at O week.

What about students working on-campus? I know there are jobs at the bar and such, but I do have quite good IT skills and I really don't want to see them go to waste. Would the IT department look to employ students casually to do work around the grounds? I'll take any job if I absolutely have to...

I was always curious about the use of digital recorders, even the ones that plug into your iPod. My laptop doesn't have a microphone, or a decent battery; so the iPod is the next best thing. Are there any hard and fast rules about using these at lectures? Particularly at CSU Bathurst? I don't...

Compared to most civilian jobs? Yeah. NSW Police are the highest paid in the country and Mum said (an enrolled nurse) that I'd be earning more than her right out of the College. Go figure. :D

Good on ya mate! All the 'requirements' for the Associate Degree in Policing Practice (the direct way in) are available in an information kit that you can have sent out to you, by calling up the Police Recruiting Branch and leaving your details with them. It's fairly thorough, but it does need...

Just to emphasise my (and others) points and to be a smart arse (because I feel like one today, for some odd reason)... Before you continue: I am not having a go at you, just making light of the situation. Humour helps you remember things. :) Really, if you want to get a decent mark in your...

Realistically, get stuck into your major right now. Get off this forum and start. No, really; do it! I will guarantee that the rest of Year 12 will distract the absolute hell out of you and then end up rushing it at the last minute. My source? I did pretty much the same thing. Pick a Major...

I just phoned the Police Recruitment Branch and they said that Professional Suitability for Bachelor of Justice Studies (Policing) students (i.e. us) isn't conducted until "the last stages of the whole thing". That from a person who sounded like he had answered fifty-thousand calls before mine...

Same here, Bachelor of Justice Studies (Policing) and first preference! What was your UAI mate? Not many people must have applied this year... Mine was 65.25 (after the 5 point disadvantage credit)...

Hey mate! That's one person from BoS that's going into the same course I am. :D As for the licencing thing: as far as I know, you will need at least your P2 licence before you can pass Professional Suitability; but I am unsure to when you actually have to do Professional/Medical Suitability. I...

So god damn close! 60.25. :( What about the extra five you may ask? CSU gives a bonus to students in regional schools because it's seen as a "disadvantage". Anyway, I'm going to go annoy CSU admissions in January to see if they'll make exception to .75 less of 66. Now to get fit. :( :D

Well I got 60.25, and I would have prefered 61.25 as CSU's 5 point bonus for being in a regional school would have sent me directly to the police force. Anyway, I'm going to speak to the admissions centre in January to see if they'll make exception for such a ridiculously close UAI anyway. To...

I can say the same to you. Learn to type properly. Enough said. Oh it's on now, bitch. :D Looking forward to it. :) Nothing stopping us from creating one (or a forum) eh? I've got a website that's seldom used.
