00:00Hey, we're Redback Racing from UNSW. We're just here at Albury High School today to share some

00:05of the knowledge that we have as students. Many of us are also engineers and also are fourth year

00:10and very experienced students and we're just here to show off the car. The car looks amazing. It's a

00:14fully electric racing car and we build on every single year and that's incredible because obviously

00:18our students we are very hands-on but I think beyond the racing car is actually getting to

00:21university and as a student myself I know how difficult that can be. You know, we did the HSC,

00:26we went for the whole ATAR system and especially as rural and regional students there's a lot more

00:30difficult beyond just academics. It's also traveling to Sydney and getting into the metro area and

00:35accommodation. So we're just here to share some of the scholarship opportunities and different

00:39pathways that are just beyond the marks and the rankings and the ATARs because we genuinely believe

00:43that students are a lot more than just what their numbers define them as. So we're here to share the

00:48Gateway Program. Essentially the Gateway Program gives eligible students like Albury High School

00:52here 10 to 15 reduction marks to any degree that they would like to do and so what that means for

00:58example is something like engineering that they're eligible to get an early offer or a conditional

01:01offer at 85 ATAR or there or thereabouts. But beyond that getting to university can be difficult and also

01:07settling with like accommodation options and so UNISW has those opportunities like accommodation

01:12scholarships and equity scholarships through financial means to support students once they get to

01:17university because the support doesn't end once they get to uni. It's also that continual help and effort.

01:21But beyond all those amazing things about getting uni is that there's this amazing race car. We do

01:26engineering, we build one every single year and it's about getting hands-on. Getting heads deep into

01:30your textbooks is not always the only way to learn and get into industry. It's also about getting hands-on,

01:36meeting new people and creating a great community. So yeah thanks to Albury High School for having us.
