Year 12 Legal Studies Guest Speaker

It was a pleasure to have Thomas Harmathy (Year 12 2017) return to school to talk to the Year 12 Legal Studies Class 2018.

Thomas completed Legal Studies as part of his V.C.E. in 2017 and is now living in Melbourne whilst studying Law at Victoria University.

Thomas spoke to the class about the many facets of being a law student including being prepared for a lot of reading and the importance of being organized before giving more general advice in preparation for the end of year exams such as directing as many questions as you can to your teachers; they are your best resource.

Thomas then moved on to general advice such as completing Centrelink forms upon commencing University as soon as possible and the significance of looking for scholarships as the Drysdale region is often regarded as a rural area.

Thomas was able to give the students not only a current perspective on studying law but also the practicalities of being a student and living away from home.

We look forward to keeping up to date with Thomas’ progress in his law degree and wish him all the very best with his upcoming examination at the end of Semester 2, 2018.
