Student Achievement
10 May
This week we are thrilled to spend five minutes with Year 12 student Kaitlyn Handreck, to hear her aspirations for university after high school.
“I am looking forward to going to university next year to study a Bachelor of Commerce. University is the perfect opportunity for me to continue with tertiary education after high school.
I am hoping to get into Deakin University, Waterfront Campus, to study a Bachelor of Commerce with a major in Accounting, and a minor in International Business and Project Management.
My favourite thing about accounting is being able to work with numbers and using processes to balance accounts. Also, being able to talk to different people every day is something I would love to do as a job.
When I go to university, I am looking forward to having a bit of extra independence that comes with moving out of home. As I am looking at going to Geelong, it is far enough away from Ballarat to feel independent, but also close enough that I can come back home whenever I need to.
After university, I am hoping to get CPA qualifications to become a professional accountant, but I haven’t quite decided my preferred style of accounting – maybe a bit of everything… tax, financial accounting, project management – but I know that Accounting is the career that I want to pursue.”
Thanks for your time, Kaitlyn, and good luck with achieving your Commerce and Accounting aspirations.
